Proverbs 24:3 and 4

Proverbs 24: 3-4
By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Wisdom:
knowledge of what is true or right fused together with just judgment as to action; discernment
discernment: The act or process of exhibiting devoted insight and good judgment.

Just like building a house, God wants to build each of us into a temple- a house where he is the found. To build his house we have to make sure the foundation and the walls of the house are solid. That comes from wisdom, continuously knowing and getting to know God and listening to his voice and acting on it. As you grow in this wisdom you start to understand how to build your house sturdier and how to use it to help others and launch God’s purpose. Over time God gives you rare and beautiful treasures to fill the rooms of your heart through the knowledge of who God is and how he works in your life!

So what?
What is God’s building plan for you? Take time and think of ways that you can get to know God better so you can start building yourself up to be a house where God lives! Then start to think about the treasures that he has already started to give you to fill those rooms in your heart, your parents, the things you love to do, the purpose he has created you for, understanding an idea of who God is, etc.
