Psalm 119:63

Evil & Good Communication
Ronnie W. Wolfe

We must be very careful about our companions. 1 Cor. 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. If we as God's people have close communion with evil people and events, we can expect that our manners will be corrupted.

That is why in our verse today the psalmist is a companion of all the people who fear the Lord. We can find these fearful people in our family, in our church, and in many places in our community.

A closer communion can be enjoyed with those who keep the precepts (commandments) of God. Obedience (keeping) of God's precepts is of utmost importance in our lives. Many people today know very little of obedience. King Saul was impervious to the damage that could be done through disobedience, and it cost him his kingdom.

Keep company with God's people, those who love the word of God and who obey his word and those who fear God. There is great benefit in doing so.
