Title: Walk with Like Minds.

“And if anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he may feel ashamed.” — 2 Thessalonians 3:14

Devotion:  

Our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ care deeply about the company we keep. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus was often found in fellowship with His disciples—those who shared His mission and heart. On rare occasions, He stepped outside that circle to reach a lost soul, but His core relationships remained rooted in truth and purpose.

  Scripture warns us that “bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33). That’s why Christ calls us to walk in His Word and surround ourselves with those who do the same. When we walk with likeminded believers—those who are committed to living out the gospel—we sharpen one another, grow in grace, and shine as lights in a dark world.

  Sometimes, fellow believers may stray from the path of truth. In such moments, we are called not to ignore their behavior, but to lovingly distance ourselves, allowing conviction and godly sorrow to lead them back to righteousness. This isn’t rejection—it’s redirection. It’s a call to help them stand firm in the faith once they recognize their error.

  Reflection:  

Dear beloved, what truth stands out to you in this message? Are you walking with those who strengthen your faith, or do you need to realign your circle? Let us be intentional in our associations, so that together we may grow in Christ and reflect His glory.
