Luke 14:28-32 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          28Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
          29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
          30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

³¹Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

³²And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
