David Diga HernandezHostMaybe you've been feeling uncomfortable around certain people in your life, even those who feel close to you, but deep down you've had this sense that you need to start creating some distance, and you've been looking for confirmation from the Holy Spirit.
So give me a few minutes, and I believe that you'll get that confirmation from the Holy Spirit as we look to God's Word.
The first kind of relationship that the Holy Spirit will warn you about are the distractors.
Now, here I need to pause because as we go through these different kinds of relationships that the Holy Spirit's warning you about, it'll be important that you apply some balance.
So when I talk about the distractors, I'm not talking about people who will relax with you, you vacation with some friends, you maybe go out to eat with some friends, maybe you just spend some time talking and laughing.
Everybody needs fellowship where they're just enjoying time with people.
It does- doesn't always have to be busy, busy, busy, productive, productive, productive.
In fact, I would argue that recreation, rest, relaxation, all of that, can actually help you be more productive overall.
But I'm talking about those friends who get you to think only in terms of the here and now.
In other words, all they care about is entertainment, who's hanging out where, who's doing what, and if you're not careful, you'll actually end up wasting years of your life, and before you know it, you'll look up, and you'll realize that so much time has gone by, and you haven't even had a chance really to apply yourself to fulfill the destiny that God has placed in your life.
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days." You have to learn to discipline yourself and focus your mind that you might maximize the time and the energy that God has given to you.
