"If you wanted to build a building, you would first sit down and decide how much it would cost. You must see if you have enough money to finish the job.
Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts." This is what the Lord himself said.
Don't envy those who are violent. Never choose to be like them. Such crooked people are disgusting to the Lord. But he is a friend to those who are good and honest.
