Proverbs 13:20 - Godly Friends Help You Make Good Decisions.

Proverbs 13:20 (NLT) Walk with the wise and 
become wise; associate with fools and get in 
trouble. 

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

COMMENTARY PEARL

   When you trust God to make tough choices 
easier, he gives you wisdom when you ask for it. One 
way he does that is by directing you to people 
who know and practice his Word. He gives you 
connections with godly people who will point you in the 
right direction. 
   You need to get some godly people in your 
life who love and obey the Bible. You were never 
meant to practice Gods wisdom on your own. 
   Proverbs 13:20 says, "Walk with the wise 
and become wise; associate with fools and get in 
trouble" (NLT). 
   This is important because the quality of 
your life and the quality of your decisions will 
be determined by who you spend the most time 
with. 
   Are the people you hang out with the most 
helping you or hurting you? Are they building your 
faith or your fear? Are they causing you to 
worship or to worry? Are they stress relievers or 
stress generators in your life? 
   This time of social distancing presents 
some unique challenges to obeying this verse. 
Were just not hanging out like we used to! 
   While were in a season of uncertainty 
and isolation, you can still keep company with 
wise people. For instance, technology allows you 
to stay in touch through phone or video. Then, 
be intentional about connecting with people 
every day - people who will encourage you and 
point you to Gods Word and help you make wise 
decisions. [Daily Devotional by Rick Warren:
