Environment (Good or Bad)

At that time I was leached with the term, the neighborhood is very influential to you. If your environment is good, then your life will be good. If your environment is bad, then your life will be worse. Is that right?

I think not, you be good or bad, depending on yourself. If you want a good life, you will be well-behaved pastik. If your life going bad, then you will behave badly too. All depends on yourself.

But, reflections I read last night reminded me and spoke to me, if the environment is very influential. See when the Lord Jesus sent everyone out of the house of Jairus, because they had been laughing at Jairus who believe in Jesus. Proving as it were, ridicule people around Jairus could make it fall, so do not believe anymore in Jesus to heal his son (his condition, Jairus' daughter had died).

That may be one example of an afterthought read. But I've got their own reasons also say it depends on you, you want to be good or bad. Peter, Judas Iscariot, Samuel, Saul, David, Caleb, Joshua, Samson, Samuel and Eli's Children ... You probably know all those people, maybe some people at least you heard. Yep, it was the characters in the Bible ..

Samuel is not affected to the poor life of Eli and his sons were unfaithful to God. Caleb and Joshua, remain faithful to God, even though they had a small voice among the twelve spies of Israel. David remained loyal and sticking to the promise of God, where Israeli soldiers, none dared to fight against Goliath the Philistine. It all are some examples, how the environment affects the lives of the poor do not trust them to God ... In contrast to Saul, Judas Iscariot, Samson, Children Samuel.

Judas Iscariot sure you know, no one is not familiar with him. A person who sells Jesus to the Jewish people. You know the environment? very nice, where Jesus himself is the teacher. But a nice neighborhood that does not affect to Judas ... We also see Saul, first he was faithful, those who have the least of the tribe of Benjamin, became king of Israel. How is the environment? Samuel was with him, but he is still against God that David succeeded him as king. The most obvious of children Samuel. The term pastor with his children, but the children against Allah ..

That is partly the reason why I say that the environment does not significantly affect behavior be good or bad. Only one that allows us to behave good, not our environment, but the Word of God itself, as written in Psalm 119: 9 "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word".
 
 Do not blame the environment, but courageous faith ...
