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

The biggest attribute by which to choose a companion is wisdom. It is not beauty or coolness, cash or phone or car. God's wisdom is the best friend a person can ever have. Prov. 4:7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. May that companion look as disgusting as a mouse or a rat, it is the heart that counts. Wisdom can keep somebody safe and protect those who cling to her. Though Paul warns of worldly wisdom, he writes: 1 Cor. 1:24 ...Christ (is) the power of God and the wisdom of God. Whatever wisdom may look like, searching for her and meditating day and night brings greater happiness than much material possession. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the one ...3 whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. Those who do so are truly blessed and they know it. They become springs of wisdom who have enough to share with others. Which in itself is a great joy, for the joy of giving outlasts the joy of receiving.
