Happy Monday Morning!
It is going to be a beautiful day! We are one day closer to meeting together for GEMS! That's right, we meet tomorrow evening for physical food, spiritual food and fellowship - Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. Looking forward to seeing you!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 13:20 ~ Who do you "walk" with? You become like the people you surround yourself with. Find wise people and do life with them. Let go of fools.
As we read this passage we see a theme of discipline and instruction and how they are rewarding if accepted and followed. Instruction - respect is rewarded; fountain of life; wins favor; and walk with the wise - grow wise.
Discipline - heed correction and be honored; sweet to the soul; prosperity is the reward; leave an inheritance for your children; and "he who loves him (son) is careful to discipline him." (vs 24b)
Let's take a look at verse 20 that Lisa used. "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."
I am sure we have all heard or even said, "They are hanging with the wrong crowd." That is exactly what this verse is talking about. We become who we spend the most time with and even how we spend our time.
Have you ever noticed that many times a married couple begin to have the same "looks" or similarities? I have noticed that adopted children often begin to look like their parents and family.
Let's do as Lisa suggests: Do life with wise people and those that love the Lord and walk His Walk! We will definitely be rewarded with eternal life!
Have a marvelous Monday!
