- Practical takeaway: Use the discipline of Scripture to regulate your internal state before facing external urgency

- Main idea: True wisdom from above is characterized by purity, peace, and a lack of selfish ambition
- Practical takeaway: Seek to align your speech and actions with a single, consistent source of truth
