Proverb22:24.25 speaks of a very specific kind of person:
Ill Tempered.
Do you know someone who is that kind like that? Do you associate with them?
Well, as this proverbs warns us, you may become a product of your associations.
So, because of your associations, it is possible that you may already BE that person.
But if you are, it will be hard for you to know
Why? Well, because that kind of an anger originates within a person who believes they are usually (Or ALWAYS) right.
This kind of temper comes from a place of self righteousness.
That attitude comes from a heart that needs everyone else know what they think is right, and that what everybody else believes is wrong.
Which is wrong.
Now you may not be that hot tempered person (Or not know, even if you were.), but having one of those as an association can be very dangerous.
Because if your influence on them does not help in leading them toward the light, then their influence will be stronger on you, driving you toward the darkness.
So, be careful of your associations, be strong in your convictions, and set the example of
- Forgiveness
- Mercy
- Grace,
- Compassion
- Peace &
- Love
I love you guys!
