Key Verse:

“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

— Proverbs 13:20

Rooted Truth:

Wisdom isn’t just personal—it’s relational. Who you walk with shapes how you walk.

Faith Story:

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German pastor who resisted Hitler’s regime, didn’t stand alone. He surrounded himself with like-minded believers in an underground seminary. Together they pursued godly wisdom, prayer, and courage—even when it was dangerous.

He wrote:

“The righteous man lives for the next generation.”

Bonhoeffer knew that walking with the wise isn’t about comfort—it’s about conviction.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 1:1–2 – “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked…”

1 Corinthians 15:33 – “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Proverbs 27:17 – “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”

Daily Practice:

Take inventory of your closest relationships. Are they helping you walk in wisdom—or distracting you from it? Choose one way today to strengthen a wise friendship.

Daily Prayer:

Father, surround me with wise people who love You deeply. Help me to be a friend who sharpens, not stumbles. Give me courage to walk away from foolish influences. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

Who has the strongest influence on your decisions right now?

Are you more influenced by culture or by Christ-centered community?

What kind of friend are you to others?
