There is an evil one, he need not be feared, but acknowledged, as the accuser of the brethren. It is good to know your opponent well, he is a liar, a thief and a killer. Your best strategy will come from knowing his behaviors and weakness.
Strategize to guarantee the best outcomes. He is a worthy adversary and does not play fair. So a skillful warrior is one that knows himself and his enemy better. It will be required to defeat the evil one.
I am strategic and forward thinking, you must do the same. Move decisively based on this fact. Be aware, be cautious and be vigilant, because the stakes are high. This admonishment is for sharpening of your sword.
No one plays to lose, invite strategy into you planning. You have seen ME move, in a mighty way before and this has given you a confidence, be mindful that this confidence does not become arrogance.
Proverbs 24:6-16
Strategic planning is the key to warfare; to win, you need a lot of good counsel. Wise conversation is way over the head of fools; in a serious discussion they haven’t a clue. The person who’s always cooking up some evil soon gets a reputation as prince of rogues. Fools incubate sin; cynics desecrate beauty. Rescue the Perishing If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn’t much to you in the first place. Rescue the perishing; don’t hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,” will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know – Someone not impressed with weak excuses. Eat honey, dear child – it’s good for you – and delicacies that melt in your mouth. Likewise knowledge, and wisdom for your soul – Get that and your future’s secured, your hope is on solid rock. Don’t interfere with good people’s lives; don’t try to get the best of them. No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.
