God First

proverbs 24:1-5
Hes warning me against craving the friendship of perhaps popular, but essentially less than upstanding persons.

even though there may be a social divide between myself and others, depending on the persons status--of evil or not--i ought to take caution rather than desire pure acceptance and association. evil might be an exaggeration considering my current situation, but its still important for me to remain mindful of this reality.

in light of that, i will remember that God provide blessing enough and will not envy invitations to the parties of others, for example. fellowship with God would trump that by leaps and bounds. rather than envy, i shall apply love and generosity. i will, first and foremost, seek Him and friends who too know Him. other things are secondary and i ought to prioritize christian fellowship and devotional time when in college--and now over play.  speaking of which, i must immediately fulfill my transcribed bible quotas in the morning for the next week or so. God first.
