[S] Ecclesiates 9:18 --
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
[O] If weapons of war are equivalent to fighting skills and technology of this world, then wisdom equates to knowing how and where to use them. So, this passage states that more so than the fighting skills how to apply them in a war is more effective. Additionally, unity of the warriors to fight with one heart and mind is a key ingredient to the victory of war; it just takes a single outcast in this effort to destroy the efforts of the many.
[A] Not that I have this down myself, but I feel that one of my calling is to teach my children and others in subsequent generations the criticality of valuing the wisdom from God and not rely on the technicality of living skills which many can attain by giving their best efforts while the wisdom only comes from God.
[P] Dear Father, first please graciously grant Your wisdom upon this heart humbly bowing before You. And please let me be a conduit to pass on that wisdom and how to attain such wonderful ingredient for my children and next generation to rely on as they build their community to reflect more of Your beauty. In Jesus' name. Amen.
