Ecclesiastes 10:8-11
8 He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall. 9 He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them. 10 If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success. 11 If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
Life can be so dangerous, you may end up dead trying to live it. God’s hand of protection keeps us from harm, but the wisdom he grants can prevent harm and frustration. Here are some words of wisdom:
Measure twice; cut once.
When all else fails, read the directions.
The theory of “When a piece doesn’t fit, get a bigger hammer” doesn’t always work.
You can’t put a square peg into a round hole.
The Bible and other sources are full of simple words of wisdom. They don’t just sound good, they are good. Install them into your life and be wise.
