Take any container that you own and pour any liquid into it.

Notice how the further away the pouring device is, the better the chance of spilling [even some of the most finest containers bring failure when being poured from a distance].

It brings safety.

"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."-(James 4:8)

(I have a feeling when reading this that this one verse is as if James himself just went 'mic dropped')
