It is tempting to gossip or to seek counsel from someone who has little wisdom to offer. Scripture tells us, “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm” (Proverbs 12:26). Are you careful from whom you seek counsel? Do you have someone in your life to whom you can go when the going gets tough? Cultivate friendships with those who have true wisdom to offer.
