Whoever Isolates Himself

Verse of the day: “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.” (Proverbs 18:1, ESV)

I try to listen to a chapter from Proverbs every morning that I exercise, and since today is the 18th of the month, this came up. It reminded me of how easy it is these days to isolate ourselves, spending the whole day watching TikTok, Netflix, or YouTube. And when I go down that rabbit hole, I really do make poor decisions – staying up too late, consuming instead of producing, letting other people fill my mind with their opinions, etc. It’s a reminder to spend time with family and friends, and time in prayer with God.
