(Proverbs 1:10 NKJV) My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
Very simple verse isn’t it? Very simple and to the point.
But, is it simple to do when we’re around our family, friends, or co-workers; others that don’t know better? Is it easy to pull away? Sometimes we forget that all we have to do is just walk away, or say no.
When we involve ourselves with those that need Jesus, we need to be careful that we don’t get caught up in the way they are living as we witness to them.
We can be a witness to unbelievers by saying no to what they do and yet still be there for them when they need us. If we begin to feel that what they are doing is starting to influence us, then it is time to pull back and take a break.
We need to be built up in Christ when dealing with the unsaved. He will give us the strength, wisdom and understanding that we need. We just need to listen for His voice.
If our walk with Him is not strong and we struggle with our own issues, but someone is asking us for help, that is when we have to be mature enough in Christ to realize we need to point them to someone else that is better able to help them, rather than to try to do it ourselves.
We have seen people try to help others when they weren’t strong enough to handle it. What happened to them? They got dragged down into the pit and that is where they sat, with the ones that they were originally trying to help.
God’s gives us His wisdom and common sense. We just need to listen and do what He shows us to do. His way is always best!
