Choosing the right Associates - Part 2


Two blogs ago, we looked at some of the characteristics of wise and foolish individuals. Now I would like to briefly share some of the reputations of those who are wise and those who are unwise. Be enlightened!

Proverbs 10:13 - Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding, but fools will be punished with a rod. (New Living Translation)

Proverbs 14:18 - The naive inherit foolishness, But the sensible are crowned with knowledge. (New American Standard Bible)

Proverbs 29:8 - Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but those who are wise will calm anger. (New Living Translation)

Reputation of a Wise Person
1. Admired as Counselors
2. Rewarded with more knowledge
3. Create Peace

Reputation of a Foolish Person
1. Beaten as a slave
2. Seen as a fool
3. Creates altercations


Who will you allow to be apart of your life?
