God and humans love and respect the creative use of the mind to overcome adversity. Lore, movies and books abound with it, but living by your wits wears you down. God’s real blessings are given when you use your mind for what is right so that you will live, really live….
Luke 16: 8-9 (MSG) 8-9 “Now here’s a surprise: The master praised the crooked manager! And why? Because he knew how to look after himself. Streetwise people are smarter in this regard than law-abiding citizens. They are on constant alert, looking for angles, surviving by their wits. I want you to be smart in the same way—but for what is right—using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you’ll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behavior.”
