Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is incredibly easy to be led astray, especially when we surround ourselves with those who are not on the path of faith. Human weakness creeps in and temptation is not very far behind. Both of those things combine to make it hard for us to remain faithful. But, there is something we can do: stay away from those people who would hinder us. Proverbs says it right here, 'do not be around...' the idea being that one thing we can do to avoid temptation and sin is to keep away from those who are mired in those things. Is this easy? No. This may cost us friendships, and even, sadly, family members. But in the end we are called to a higher purpose. Not to mention the fact that we get something that supersedes all others: a personal relationship with Jesus. We may lose something, but we gain so much more in the end. God bless you.
