1 Corinthians 2.9-10 [KJV]
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Prayer

Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 [NIV]
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

God has made the one as well as the other.

Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 [NIV]
In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these:
a righteous man perishing in his righteousness,
and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
Do not be overrighteous,
neither be overwise --
why destroy yourself?
Do not be overwicked,
and do not be a fool --
why die before your time?
It is good to grasp the one
and not let go of the other.
The man who fears God will avoid all extremes.

Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you --
for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.

Ecclesiastes 11:9 [NIV]
Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
