Daily Devotion: Walking with the Wise

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise: but the companion of fools shall be destroyed. (Proverbs 13:20)

As men striving to fulfill our God-given purpose, we must consider the company we keep. The wisdom of the world can lead us astray, but walking alongside the wise will elevate our understanding and strengthen our character. Wisdom is not simply knowledge; it is the application of that knowledge in a way that honors God and reflects His glory.

Every day, we have the opportunity to choose our companions. Are we surrounding ourselves with those who challenge us to grow spiritually? Are we learning from men who are grounded in the Word and exhibit a life of faith? When we engage with wise men, we open ourselves to their insights, experiences, and the richness of their relationship with God.

Take a moment today to evaluate your circle. Who are you allowing to influence your thoughts and actions? Are they leading you closer to Christ or pulling you away? Remember, the path to wisdom is not walked alone. Seek out mentors, friends, and brothers in Christ who will encourage you, hold you accountable, and spur you on toward holiness.

Today, make a deliberate choice to walk with the wise. Read Scripture together, pray for one another, and share your struggles and victories. As you do, you will find your heart and mind transformed, drawing closer to the wisdom that only God can provide. Embrace the journey of growth, and watch how your life will change when you walk alongside those who seek Him.
