The idea is very logical. Loose living brings forth random reactions, childish friendships, immoral activities, and violence at times, while being bad for our overall health. The idea of being careful and wise is to avoid what is unhealthy for the mind, body and soul, and to instead create within yourself a strongly controlled mature soul of which you can cope, accept challenges with confidence, and have faith in God and yourself, and protect your own.

Jesus gave us a good example of a strong soul, confident, long-suffering, competent, honest, fair, wise, free from slavery, and faithful to people and God  – God wants us to follow that example ourselves in life. Be faithful like Daniel. Rest with God. God is merciful.
