Reading:<\/p>\n

Proverbs 22:21-29<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Verse twenty-four warns against developing friendships with those who have anger issues boiling within (and from) them. Here’s the reason given for not making such friendships:<\/p>\n

“Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul”<\/span> (Proverbs 22:25).<\/p>\n

Should people avoid friendship with me, lest they learn my ways?<\/p>\n

Hmmm. I wonder what negative things I allow in my character. Bitterness? Suspiciousness? Anger? Self-pity? Moroseness? Defensiveness? Pride?<\/p>\n

Yuck!<\/p>\n

And I wonder what my character positives are.<\/p>\n

Well, whatever the case, that verse has been a wake-up call to me this morning.<\/p>\n

I want to be safe to be around!<\/p>\n

I want to be safe to learn from!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When someone learns my ways, I don’t want it to be a snare to his soul.<\/p>\n
