 Through Wisdom is an House Builded!
By: Robert A. Searles

    "Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." Proverbs 24: 3,4.


    Jesus said: "The foolish man built his house upon the sand, and when the rains came, and the winds blew, great was the destruction of that house. The wise man built his house upon the rock, and when the rains came, and the winds blew, his house stood firm."

    "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." Psalm 127:1.

    Our house is our lives. the building materials that go into the building of our house are: our friends, our associates, our family relationships, our church, our business, our jobs, our school and education, etc. As every house that is built ought to be built by a skilled carpenter, so our house ought to be built by the master of all things, the Lord Jesus Christ.   If our life is to be a house that will stand all the rains, and the winds, and storms, it must be built firmly on a firm foundation.

    All the things that go into the building of our house ought to be put into the hands of our master builder. If we were to hire a skilled carpenter to build us a house, we would most likely trust him to select the proper lumber, and bricks, and other materials, because with his wisdom and experience in building houses, we would have the confidence that he knows the right quality of materials to go into a quality built house.  Likewise, through wisdom is our house builded, and by understanding it is established, and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all pleasant and precious riches.

    Christ is the wisdom of God. He ought to be the one to select the materials which go into the building of our house. Christ is the head and foundation of all things. Except our house is built upon this sure foundation, it cannot stand.

    In selecting friends, the Lord Jesus Christ should be our first and most important friend. If any person cannot or will not be a friend of the Lord Jesus Christ, he should be no friend of ours. We ought to be walking with the Lord all the time and he should go with us every place that we go, and we should not associate ourselves with those who will not walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. 

The Lord Jesus Christ should be trusted to select for us our life partner. We should wait very patiently for him to select this most important building material for our lives. The foundation of our family rests upon the one who is to be our life partner, he or she should be someone whom the Lord has selected. 

The Lord Jesus Christ ought to be the one who chooses our church for us. He ought to be the one who selects our life work for us, and our schools.

    The Lord Jesus Christ has perfect wisdom and understanding, when we leave in his hands the selections of building materials and committing to him the full responsibility for building our lives, then our chambers shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
