Give me Wisdom

GIVE ME WISDOM
Prov 13:20
20 He who walks with the wise grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm.
NIV
Once again the message is long and clear regarding who should be chosen as a friend. Surely none of those who do not have a personal relationship with God are on the list. Now or course that is not to say a believer should ignore the opportunities to develop a relationship with an unbeliever for what I believe should be for the express reason of being able to share the Gospel with them. But to develop a relationship based on friendship alone would be against all the principles set forth in the scriptures. Believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers and being a companion of fools falls into that category. Companionship is none other than being in league with someone and if that person is a fool, which would be defined as refusing to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, then a believer should avoid that type of interrelationship. Anyone who lives according to the standards of the world rather than of God would be considered a fool and therefore no advice given should be considered by a believer. The only wisdom comes from God and therefore from others who live according to his ways would be worthy of companionship, friendship and a voice of consul. It is inconceivable to me that any believe would take the advice of or enter into any type of contact with a fool, which is defined as an unbeliever. Yet I think far too many have been deceived into thinking this is not the case and have separated their physical circumstances and resources from their spiritual position in the body of Christ, and thus not only are living in the manner of the world but taking consul regarding their resources from fools. I cannot live nor accept their companionship and consul. I know who has all the wisdom and I will only hear words which flow from the mouth of God. He has all the wisdom for my life, the way I should live and how I should pursue the advancement of his kingdom. I desire to grow wise and therefor I desire his wisdom, and not that of the fools of this world. Give me wisdom.
