Proverbs 29 – Bad Company

 

Bad company is a person who will abuse, and pull others down, destroying their names and lives. Bad company is more than foolish; it dishonors and disgraces oneself and one’s parents, causing grief. Some examples of Bad company in the Bible are Korah, Dathan, Abiram, Belshazzar and Jezebel and many more. “He that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

 

David was a good King. What we need today is a righteous man who will stand for the right at any price. The Lord Jesus will reign in righteousness.

 

A fool vents all his feelings, yet many things are better left unsaid, and many opinions are better left unspoken, not only for the sake of others but for the sake of one’s own well-being. People who are given to flattery do not tell what is really upon their hearts. It is dangerous to believe in flattery. A fool will tell you everything, a wise man holds back and is very careful about what he says.

 

Without the guidance of divine revelation, people abandon themselves to their own sinful ways. Spiritual discernment is one of the gifts that God has given to the church, that is, an understanding of the Word of God.

 

The devil is the source of all anxiety, and his goal is to confuse and confound so that the fear of others becomes a snare. Thankfully the Savior of the soul replaces fear with faith so that whoever trusts in Him is safe. The one who fears God will not fear human beings. (Luke 12:4).
