Common sense and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine (Proverbs 8:14).

For the Lord your God is living among you.  . . . He will calm all your fears. (Zephaniah 3:17). 

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone (Galatians 6:10).

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless . . . (Philippians 1:9-10)

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. . . . Pay attention and learn good judgment (Proverbs 2:2; 4:1).

Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone (1 Thessalonians 5:14). 

When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation (Proverbs 10:25).

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God . . . is calling us (Philippians 3:14).

Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward (2 John 1:8).

Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment (Proverbs 9:6).

Lord, remind me . . . that my days are numbered . . . So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 49:4; 90:12).
