Please read Proverbs 24.
Meditate on verses 3-4.
By wisdom a house is built,
and by understanding it is established;
and by knowledge the rooms are filled,
with all precious and pleasant riches.
There are
instructions in Proverbs 24 about applying wisdom. Applied wisdom is behavior
that comes as a result of seeing things the way God does. For example, God
cares about those in need; rescue the helpless and don’t make excuses not to
help (vs. 11-12). It is displeasing to God when you rejoice in your heart over others
stumbling; do not rejoice when your enemy falls (vs. 17-18). God loves justice;
judge righteously, so the world can rejoice in proper decisions (vs. 23-24).
Reflect on things you observe; you will acquire even more of God’s wisdom and
be able to apply it (vs. 30-32).
A house is
built and established when it is constructed using God’s plans. Do you apply
the wisdom of God in such a way that His Son, Spirit, and Word are the
foundation of your life and the governing current of your life’s flow. When
people look at your life, do they see a wavering person or do they see granite?
It does not matter where you live physically, if your spiritual house is
established in God, you are occupying incredibly valuable spiritual real
estate, purchased with the blood of Christ and built up in Him.
Pray Proverbs 24:3-4 over yourself and those for whom you
stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let _______ and me build our house by Your wisdom.
Establish it by Your understanding.
By Your knowledge, fill the rooms with all precious and pleasant
riches.
In Your name, Jesus~”
