Day 180 – Choose wisely this you walk with and wisdom will walk with you.
Today’s Reading: Proverbs 13 – 15
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Proverbs 13:20
We all desire relationships, it was built into our being, but some relationships can tear us down and others can build us up. We have to choose wisely the ones we spend the most time with if we desire to grow in the life we are given.
In life, it’s difficult to decide who is wise and who is a fool when all we are wanting is to find a friend. So we tend to lean into those who except us when all who except us aren’t always the right fit.
Here are a few ways the Lord reveals in Scripture those who are walking in wisdom:
If they fear the Lord and are seeking after Him, there is wisdom. If they are willing to share their flaws and not just their greatness, there is wisdom.
The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
Proverbs 15:33
If they listen more than they speak, there is wisdom. If they speak truth, seek wisdom from counsel, listen and learn from understanding, and discern the way to go, there is wisdom.
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
Proverbs 13:3
The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.
Proverbs 15:31
Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.
Proverbs 15:22
But if we are seeking to find wise friends, we must also seek wisdom for ourselves. We cannot be a good fit for the wise if we are not willing to be wise.
Every road has two ways, you can even walk the wrong way on a one-way street, but to walk with a friend you must both be going in the same direction.
