Risky

Dear Lord please be with us on this day and please help us to have understandings of why we behave in different fashions according to who we are with. Please may the Holy Spirit empower us to bring others closer to You, rather than others leading us away to unworthy goals. Please give us the wisdom to consider the ending when we are making choices that are risky and unlikely to be good choices, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:
True wisdom consists not in seeing what is immediately before our eyes, but in foreseeing what is to come. -Terence

KJV
Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Jas 1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
Jas 1:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Jas 1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
