So Eliphaz the Temanite, Biladad, and Shuhite, and Zophar, the Namathite, did what the Lord told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer. So it was to show us that God was upset with Job's friends because they represented him poorly. And God has beef with friends who don't speak the truth about him.

And this scripture alone, a very long time ago, whenever I was first being pulled away from a lot of my friendships out of the world into the world, is that God didn't want me to be surrounded around people who didn't know the truth of God. And we see in the story, God was upset with Job's friends because they did not share God's truth.

And so I think that's one indicator of what friends you need to keep and what friends you need to let go of. And I'm going to make this podcast episode very simple of basically two sections of this episode of what friends do you keep and what friends do you let go of, right? And how to watch your circle. And so we're going to talk about what friends to keep.

And I think the first indicator of knowing what friends to keep and knowing if it's wise to keep certain friends, you keep your friends if they are leading you to Christ, if you're equally yoked to them, and if they sharpen you essentially.

And when, what it looks like for a friend to lead you to Christ means that they're not allowing you to turn back to the world, to your old habits, your old life, whatever it was, party, drinking, smoking, living adulterous, living sexually immoral, whether if it's gossiping or slander or bullying people online or just being mean or being disingenuous or rude or angry, whatever it may be.

These are people who shouldn't lead you back to corruption, but instead push you to the things of God. So a great indicator that you should keep your friends is if they push you towards the things of God and also if you're equally yoked. The Bible talks about in Proverbs 27, 17, the iron sharpens iron. And I think a lot of Christians at times, and I've been here too,

we would want these kind of soft edged friends and it wasn't sharpening us for conviction and to grow higher into the things of God, but what it means to, to sharpen iron with iron, it's constant contact with one another and sharpening is a process and sharpening is never something that actually feels good, but it's beneficial because it's making you stronger, right? Um,

So I could take one of my friends for an example, like Clarissa or Amoye, because we're both equally yoked in our walks with God. Whenever we speak to one another and whenever I may be weak and Clarissa has to pull some extra weight or Amoye, she's going through something and I have to help her with some wisdom. We sharpen one another and same vice versa.

Just as one friend sharpens one, the one is supposed to sharpen one another. So it's a constant sharpening. And the thing is, is that if you have one person who's sharp and one person who's dull, you're actually not going to make that wood plank, which is what I'm just thinking on the top of my head, sharp. Instead, you're just going to dull yourself out in the process.

So you keep friends who sharpen you. You keep friends who are able to call you out and heavenly rebuked you with gentleness and kindness and et cetera. And you keep people who actually are pursuing the things of God and want to bring you along the way. And I think when we talk about friendships, the biggest thing we have to talk about is what it means to be equally yoked.
