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.

Don't want no MORE, no more
Have you ever just gotten tired of the normal routine of life? Get up, hit the alarm clock, fall back asleep, finally get up, eat breakfast, go to school, come home and do more homework? I mean it just gets old. We all love new things, right? I mean think about Christmas. Who doesn't like getting new things, no one. We all love the adventure of opening up a box and finding out what is inside. Well if your just feeling kind of tired of the normal, check out this verse
Lamentations 3:22-24 (New Living Translation)
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends![a]
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”
New every morning. What do you think about that? No longer should we wake up and be "today is just another day". Every day is full of God's blessings and is mercies are new every morning.
SO WHAT?
If your feeling like today is just one of those days. Stop right now and close your eyes and imagine God pouring out His mercies on you. He is in heaven doing just that right now. Believe and spend the rest of your day today, living like it.

Your Not Strong Enough
What are some things in your life that are reliable? Alarm clocks, sunrises,
mom telling you to eat your vegatables. I remember my mom, if I ever got a cut on my finger or a scratch on my knee, she would be right there with band-aids to fix me up. She was amazing. I always knew she would be there for me. I relied on her to help me and I never doubted that she would be there. Now that I’m older I understand that my mom can’t do everything for me. She isn’t always with me, but God is. I’ve realized that now that I’m older I need to look first to God and rely on Him more than anyone else. We can’t even rely on ourselves. God is the only person we should be looking too.
2 Corinthians 1:9 says
“Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”
SO WHAT?
Today realize that God is your strength. Remember that you can rely on Him to help you in your time of struggle. If you are going through any kind of difficulties, or if you just need a helping hand throughout your average day... Look to God! He is waiting to be your help. RELY on Him.
