- Just like paperclips can be magnetized by being near a magnet, being with the wise rubs off on us.
- Hanging out with those who are foolish can lead us into harm.
- If we want our hearts to be wise, not only to we need to hang out with those who show and live out wisdom, but we need to daily go to the Lord and ask Him to give us His wisdom.
