Psa 119:115 | MHM | STEP | Choosing God’s Way and Avoiding Bad Company This verse shows David’s strong decision to obey God, even when others around him do not. He knows that to live a holy life, he must not spend time with evil people. David understands that bad company can pull him away from God, so he chooses friends who will help him follow God’s commandments. v. 115 : David says, Depart from me, you evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God (Psalm 119:115). He makes a bold choice to obey God, no matter what others decide to do. David does not want to be around people who do wrong, because they could tempt him to sin. He knows that if he wants to follow God’s ways, he must avoid those who do evil. This is like what is taught in Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked (Psalm 1:1 ) and Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness (Ephesians 5:11 ). David’s example shows us that we should choose friends who help us obey God.
