Ecclesiastes 7:8 Sometimes we only see the true worth of a journey at its conclusion. Because it’s only then we can look back and see how the hand of God was at work.

Proverbs 26:17 “Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.” No one in their right mind would approach an unknown stray dog and grab it by its ears.
