Proverbs 13:20 ” He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

The simple lesson here is that we become like those whose company we keep. And it’s very evident in the two Hebrew words used here for “walks with” and “companion.” When we walk with someone, we’re doing life together…there’s depth and direction, learning and discipleship…as iron sharpening iron. But when we’re just companions, we’re simply spending time together with no focus, aim, or growth. And sadly, this time is usually spent doing things contrary to the Will of God, which end up injuring not maturing us.
