Proverbs 13:20 - Four Types of People You Need in Your Life.

Proverbs 13:20 (ESV) Whoever walks with the 
wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools 
will suffer harm.  

Proverbs 13:20 (MSG) Become wise by walking 
with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your 
life fall to pieces.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   You and I can never be the kind of people 
God wants us to be on our own. We were never 
intended to do life that way. We all need people who 
are teaching us, sharing their lives with us, 
investing in us, and encouraging us to grow. 
   The Bible tells us, Walk with the wise 
and become wise, for a companion of fools 
suffers harm (Proverbs 13:20 NIV). 
   In fact, to be all that God calls you to 
be, you need to learn from at least four kinds 
of people: 
   Mentors. These are your coaches. Ive 
had nine different mentors in my life. No one 
can teach you everything you need to know. One 
person will teach you in one area. Another person 
will teach you about something else. 
   Role models. These are people who are 
already doing or have already done what you want to 
do. Many of the skills youve learned in your 
life, youve learned by watching others.  
   Partners. You need co-workers and 
colleagues who are in your profession, people to 
support and challenge you on what God wants to do 
through your life. 
   Friends. Friends dont necessarily help 
you with your goals. Theyre just friends. 
They love you no matter what you do. You can mess 
up, and they still love you. A friend walks 
alongside you when everyone else walks out. Thats 
when you know who your true friends are. 
   Trying to live life solo isnt just 
lonely. It works against Gods design for us. 
   Find your people, and make yourself 
available and vulnerable to them and how God wants to 
use them in your life. [Daily Devotional by Rick
