Be careful, those striving to be warriors. It is better to be wise.
“A wise person can defeat a city full of warriors and tear down the defenses they trust in.” – Proverb 21:22
“So be very careful how you live. Do not live like those who are not wise, but live wisely. Use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil times. So do not be foolish but learn what the Lord wants you to do.” – Ephesians 5:15-18
“Happy is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gets understanding.
Wisdom is worth more than silver; it brings more profit than gold.
Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you could want is equal to it.
With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life, and with her left hand she gives you riches and honor.
Wisdom will make your life pleasant and will bring you peace. As a tree produces fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it,
and everyone who uses it will be happy.” – Proverbs 3:13-18
Ask God for the balance.
“When we were with you, we lived in a holy and honest way, without fault. You know this is true, and so does God. You know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. We encouraged you, we urged you, and we insisted that you live good lives for God, who calls you to his glorious kingdom.” – 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
