Worldly Friendship?
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:1-4 KJV

Wisdom belongs to God
"But true wisdom and power are found in God;
counsel and understanding are his.
What he destroys cannot be rebuilt.
When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape.
If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert.
If he releases the waters, they flood the earth.
Yes, strength and wisdom are his;
deceivers and deceived are both in his power.
He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment;
wise judges become fools.
Job 12:13-17 NLT
