Who Teaches You?

Proverbs 22:24-25 Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, 25 lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. ESV


I thought this was a particularly insightful proverb. It shows us that who we hang out with is who we will become. Do you find yourself spending time with people who are given to being quarrelsome? Do they get angry a lot and everything seems to bug them?

You should be careful because by the process of osmosis you will begin to pick up on their habits and outlook.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 And  the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but  kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God  may perhaps grant them repentance  leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may escape from  the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. ESV
