TFTD: “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Proverbs 13:20

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted, I had a busy week and unfortunately I let it go by the wayside. Although it doesn’t seem like a big deal that I missed writing and posting my thought, if you think about it, it shows where my priorities lie. When I got busy I focused so much on what I had to do for the day or week that I neglected my time with God. He was the first to go. Isn’t that how we all treat our lives? When we get busy and things aren’t going too bad we think that we can do everything on our own and put God in the “spiritual holster” until we really need something. Isn’t that the silliest thing that we could possibly do? To me that would be like going somewhere you’ve never been before and ignoring the GPS because you think that you know a better way.

            In Proverbs Solomon, in all of his wisdom, makes a lot of very profound and intelligent statements. In my reading this morning this one stood out to me. “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” (V.20). Don’t we all want to be wise and know our way around? Isn’t being wise and learned what Adam and Eve wanted in the garden? To be just like God? To have any insight into what God knows or has planned we need to walk with Him. We need to be in relationship with Him and constantly ask for His guidance so that we don’t fall into sinful foolishness. I know that your friends are pretty awesome, I know mine are, but we can all make some pretty dumb mistakes. We need a guiding light to put us on the right path, so we can walk with the wise. And God is the wisest of all so why not walk with Him?
