Thanks @mamidiala for availing is the need of Godly friendship in attaining destinies!!

But it must be stressed that such friendships/ associates are actually appendages of God's "hand" assisting us to accomplish His will. If otherwise, we may be tempted to give glory to men , instead of God.

It is also necessary to note that some associates sent of God may be of unpleasant consequences to us. Nevertheless,we must not flee from them or cast them away!
Typical examples: Pharoah tormented and eslaved Isreal/Moses; Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus , leading to His "death". These are all facilitated by God , even efore their birth to fulfil God's agenda per time!!
