Fear to those that walk in their own light.

Wis 17
9
For even though no monstrous thing frightened them, they shook at the passing of insects and the hissing of reptiles,
10
And perished trembling, reluctant to face even the air that they could nowhere escape.
11
For wickedness, of its nature cowardly, testifies in its own condemnation, and because of a distressed conscience, always magnifies misfortunes.
12
For fear is nought but the surrender of the helps that come from reason;
Boy that last line screams!

Wisdom is from God

Wis 16
26
That your sons whom you loved might learn, O LORD, that it is not the various kinds of fruits that nourish man, but it is your word that preserves those who believe you!
27
For what was not destroyed by fire, when merely warmed by a momentary sunbeam, melted;
28
So that men might know that one must give you thanks before the sunrise, and turn to you at daybreak.
29
For the hope of the ingrate melts like a wintry frost and runs off like useless water.

Early Morning Prayer does make the day. So scary to go through day with out it.

Wisdom we should all seek.

Wisdom is from God.
Knowledge replaces Wisdom. This is why our world is in such a sad state.
The More Knowledge man acquires the less wisdom he has.
Sir6
[18] My son, from your youth up choose instruction, and until you are old you will keep finding wisdom.
[19] Come to her like one who plows and sows, and wait for her good harvest. For in her service you will toil a little while, and soon you will eat of her produce.
[20] She seems very harsh to the uninstructed; a weakling will not remain with her.
[21] She will weigh him down like a heavy testing stone, and he will not be slow to cast her off.
[22] For wisdom is like her name, and is not manifest to many.

Faith Faith and more Faith

Faith gets it,
He 11
5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
