Good companions bring much good and wisdom to life. When we choose to associated ourselves with wise Men and Women, we will advance in wisdom. It is taken for granted that the companion of fools is a fool and will remain rooted in their folly. Their choice of companion's proves their folly and shows their destiny destruction.

Solomon was the wisest man in his time at the end , he was a fool For he took on many strange wives and they knew not his our God and they led him into worshiping idols !!! A fool is one that says 'NO ' to God It is my prayer daily to walk after the commandments of my Lord and Saviour . When God 's people hang around the unbelievers it will have an effect on our walk with God and not for the good !! I must be sensitive to God 's leadership.
