There is a saying, “tell me who your friends are, I can tell you who you are”. It is so true that our associations can make us or break us. God’s Word instructs us to spend time with wise people so we gain wisdom. Moving with Godly people, watching and listening to them, we get the practical lessons of Godliness.
Walk with God
God is all wise and the source of all wisdom. Walking with Him is the best way to become Godly. When we start obeying Him and imitating Him we will develop His character traits. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, we read in Proverbs 1:7. In James 1:5 we are told to ask God when we need wisdom for our daily lives.
Walk with Godly people
Its true, in our life time we cannot avoid relationships with people of this world. But the quality of the relationship and the time we allot for it is what matters. When we spent more time with wise people, who don’t fool around with meaningless things, we will be influenced to follow their examples. Where as, when we spend a lot of time with people who are pleasure loving, immature, rude, impolite, hot tempered, abusive, addicted,aimless and negative, their nature will rub into us without our knowledge. So choosing to keep company with Godly people will help us in our character development. Remember, it’s always our choice, with whom we should spend time.
Keep our associations with ungodly people to the bare minimum, to only what necessity demands. Same time, think if we are worthy or not to give company to someone who is looking for a wise person.
