The "In" Crowd

It is very easy for us to be taken with the notion that we should pursue friendships/relationships with people of influence, power, money, and/or fame, regardless of the condition of their spirit. Now, what might I mean by spirit here? When I say spirit, I'm talking about a person's character, particularly their humility, or lack thereof.

I have been reading Proverbs of late, and this morning came to ch. 16, v. 19:

"It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud."

Now, I know what I think about this verse, but I am interested in any comments anyone has to share here; tell me what you think! When you read this, what does this seem to say to you? Is it true? I'm anxious to hear from anyone with a thought!



Hope to hear from all soon...
