Deuteronomy 13:6-9 says, " If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people."(KJV).
Seems harsh, but the writer just happened to be the meekest man that was on the face of the earth at that time, Moses. (Numbers 12:3). Yes, we are living in the New Testament, but any relationship that leads you away from God needs to be killed. Don't get it twisted, kill the relationship not the person. LOL! Samson, Solomon, and Cynthia can all testify about how important it is to encourage strong, godly, relationships. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Don’t be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.”(Easy-to-Read Version).
Life is precious! God has not given us a spirit of fear, but tomorrow is not promised. We need to make today count. Today is an investment in your future. Each day use your time wisely, and don't allow other people to waste your precious time. Set goals, make plans, and purposefully move forward. Don't let this year be just like last year. Never be afraid to say, "NO!" Don't beat yourself up when you miss it, and don't let the Devil condemn you! Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now NO condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."(KJV).
Love and prayers, Cynthia
