30 Day Challenge: A Walk Through Proverbsنموونە
Day Thirteen
Read Proverbs 13
In Proverbs 13, again we see a contrast between those who are wise and those who are deemed foolish. In verse 20 we see that “whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Notice that when you walk with the wise, you become wise, but what does it say about those who are friends with fools? They don’t become foolish—they suffer harm. That’s a big difference! And while it may sound harsh, we are given this warning to help us make wise choices.

About this Plan
Oftentimes life looks like an open road and we aren’t sure which way it will turn. Other times, we feel like we are in control of where we are heading—no need to stop for directions. As believers, we must make sure that our GPS is programmed to the Word. God is our ultimate guide through the journey; He is the Creator of the road itself.
