Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20 NIV

It's funny how almost every verse makes me go, "woah...now that's the truth." This verse does more than just point out that old adage "lie down with dogs, get up with fleas."  It gives guidance that each of us needs.

I'm the type of person that likes to learn something new. I love input, as Johnny 5 would call it. I'm always reading or watching or listening, taking it all in and applying it in other areas. So I must be extra careful where my eyes and ears are tuned to. Will it be useful information or something that will lead me astray? According to this verse, I could be in harm's way if I listen to fools.

So into the word of God I must go to verify information, to put my soul at ease, and find out how to use the gifts and opportunities I've been given.
