“Whoever walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.” Proverbs 13:20
Life Application:
I remember being little and going to a friend’s house or spending the day with a cousin, only to come home and need an “attitude adjustment.” 🥴😂
Looking back, I can see exactly what happened. I had picked up somebody else’s attitude, behavior, or bad habits without even realizing it.
And honestly…we don’t outgrow that just because we get older.
The people we spend time with influence us. Their attitudes, their words, what they complain about, what they think is funny, and even what they think is acceptable can slowly start rubbing off on us.
It’s not just people, either. What we watch, listen to, and scroll through can influence us just as much.
That’s why I think this verse is such a good reminder to pay attention to what we’re allowing into our lives. If I’m constantly surrounded by negativity, I shouldn’t be surprised when I start feeling negative too.
The opposite is true, too. Being around people who encourage me, pray for me, make me laugh, and point me back toward Jesus makes a difference.
And now that I’m the mom, I understand the “attitude adjustment” a whole lot better. 😂
Who we spend our time with matters. What we allow to influence us matters. Sometimes we all need to take a step back and ask, “Is this making me more like Jesus…or am I going to need an attitude adjustment?” 🥴🤍
