The fear of the Lord helps you to choose the right type of friends

Choose your friends wisely. There is a common saying in the marketplace that pegs your net worth as the average worth of your five closest friends. If you hang around with the right company, you will go up with them; if not, your mediocre company will pull you down with them. Similarly, to elevate your spiritual walk, hang around God-fearers who are already walking at that higher level. Their lifestyle will eventually rub off on you in due time!
