Great joy comes from obeying God and refusing to listen to those who discredit or ridicule him. Friends and associates can have a significant influence on us, often in subtle ways. If we insist on friendship with those who mock what God considers important, we will be tempted to adopt more and more of their thinking, and before we know it, we will find ourselves indifferent to God's Word and his call upon us. Those who have this careless attitude towards God are no different from those who outright mock him. Do your friends build up your faith, or do they tear it down? True friends will encourage you to draw closer to God rather than hinder your relationship with him.
