If I am totally honest with myself, I am certain I do the same today in my life. I allow myself to be in situations that can have a negative influence on me. I don't think its often, but its there and yet like the Israelites I am probably too complacent in allowing it to continue.

Judges 1 -knut
I was observing today that while the Israelites were trying to follow the commands to completely drive the Canaanites out of the promised land they were falling short leaving some to dwell among them. This sets them up for future failure as they will likely be influence and develop relationships with the Canaanites that could be unhealthy or take up worshiping their gods and idols.

I completely agree. I was talking about that in the Joshua 23 write up.....I'm trying to take steps to eliminate some of that. Such as, not going to lunch with some friends.....
