"He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20 NKJV)
This affirms an established reality 'you are who you associate with'. What kind of person you are, can be known by the kind of people you spend most of your time with. A man is wise as he spends most of his time with the wise. He is a fool as he spends most of his time with fools.
A useful revelation is given us: wisdom is contagious. And sadly, so does with folly, which leads to destruction. Hence, let's spend our time walking with God always and fellowship with those who seek God. Wisdom comes from God only. "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Proverbs 9:10a NIV) Apart from Him, there are only follies. Arrogance and insistence to go our way will only bring more trouble to a drowning life.
God calls us to be wise. Stay away from the coaching of also-rans. Hang out with those who hang out with God, by faith in Christ Jesus. Hear His call. Let's respond and humbly run to Him. Learn from Him. Lord Jesus is calling us with compassion, as it is written: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
