Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
Proverbs 13:20
Takeaway
The people you walk with are not neutral. They shape you. Wisdom is not absorbed by osmosis—it spreads through proximity, through conversation, through the slow contagion of how someone else thinks and decides. Foolishness works the same way. You cannot spend your hours with people who mock God, chase shortcuts, ignore consequences, and expect to walk away unchanged. This is not judgment; it is gravity.
Application
Name one person whose wisdom you want to inherit, and spend intentional time with them this week—even thirty minutes. Ask them a real question about a decision you're facing. Let them speak into your life. Then notice how their way of thinking begins to rub off on you.
