THE MAIN THEME: WHO DO I GO WITH? 

TITLE: WHO ARE YOUR TRAVEL BUDDIES?  

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 13:20 (NIV)

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Devotional:

Imagine you’re setting out on a long road trip. Who you choose to ride with can make all the difference. They are called your "travel buddies". They can either make the journey more enjoyable, guide you in the right direction, or, if you're not careful, lead you off course. This is exactly how life works. The people you choose to walk through life with will either help you grow or bring you down. 

Wise friends can help you make better decisions, encouraging you to stay on the path God has laid out for you. On the other hand, friends who make poor choices can easily influence you to do the same. 

Ask yourself, "Who are my travel buddies? Are they helping me move closer to my goals, values, and the person God wants me to be?" 

The friends you choose are either pointing you in the right or wrong direction.

 Here are a few reflective questions:

• Who are the people I spend most of my time with?
• How do they influence my decisions? 
• Are my friends leading me closer to God or away from Him?
• Am I a wise and uplifting friend to others?

Let Us Pray:

Heavenly Father, please help me to walk with wise people who bring me closer to You. Show me how to be a good friend who encourages others to move close to you in Jesus name, Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I choose to walk with wise friends who inspire me to grow.
• I am intentional about building relationships that bring me closer to God.
• I am a good friend who encourages and uplifts those around me.

Dear Lovelies, do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
