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

Who are you walking with?  Who are you spending time with?  The proverb isn’t saying you always have to be with people who are smarter than you….it says to associate with those who are wise.  These are people who are seeking Christ in their life.  These are people who lift you up and edify you, rather than tear you down.  These are people who are honest enough to tell you when you’re wrong.  So….who are you surrounding yourself with?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about example of doing a mud race with my wife and being too self centered and wanting to run it and do it fast. My wife is not in the shape I’m in and really struggled. I got irritated and she could sense it and along with the fact we got there late and she hates the shape that she is in, ended up having a small panic attack. It litterly took that for my dumb ass to figure out that the day was not about me running a race but about spending time with my wife and the mother of my children.

so…..when you spend time with your family, BE THERE for them mentally as well.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have a colleague w/ wisdom and maturity issues. Started praying about him, and then for him to develop more maturity and wisdom. God chuckled at me. “It takes one to know one, my boy! Don’t you remember when this was you?”

Immediately I had the words of Proverbs 9 in my head. The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom.

I do remember, because it wasn’t too long ago and I consistently fail in these same things. The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom.

I don’t know where the end is, but the beginning of wisdom is fearing the Lord. This isn’t about being terrified or feeling guilt and shame for our wrong doing. This is about recognizing the natural order of things and in whose world we are living. Recognizing whose children we interact with every day and just how much He loves us…AND them! We are loved as sons, but we bear the responsibility to carry that name!

We all think we’re football experts. We’ll talk for hours about what needs to change. We’ll tweet endlessly, and even call into radio shows to second guess decisions. But none of us would walk into Jeremy Pruitt’s office and presume to tell him what he needs to do or how he could do it better. Why? ‘cuz that’s his world and we KNOW we don’t belong in charge of it.

Apply the same to God. You are not in control of half of what you think you are, and you mismanage most of what you are in control when you do it under your own steam. Recognize whose you are and in whose land you live…change that perspective and you’ll see some new wisdom come your way.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Are you a humming bird or a vulture? Either way, you will find what you are looking for.

Vultures fly over the landscape looking for the dead carcasses that they rely on for food. They have incredible eyesight and can spot a dead animal from miles away.  Hummingbirds fly over the landscape looking for the flowers that they feed on.  They are attracted by the bright colors and consume the sweet nectar inside the flower.  Vultures fly over flowers and hummingbirds fly over dead animals, but they only notice what they’re looking for.  We’re not that different ourselves.  If you are looking for negative, gloomy, depressing things to make you feel down about life, I can guarantee that you’ll find them. However, if you’re looking for exciting, positive, joyful things to help you maintain an optimistic attitude, you will find them.  It’s possible for two people to be in exactly the same circumstances and have one find the rotting meat and the other find the beautiful flowers.  The ugliness and beauty of life are both there, often side by side.  But what you are looking for is what you’re likely to see and consume, impacting your attitude, your relationships and your level of influence.  What are you going to be, a hummingbird or a vulture?  Remember, it’s your choice!

“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13)
