What a great picture of how a house is built with wisdom in Proverbs 24:3–4. How it’s established, the foundation is understanding and the rooms are filled with knowledge. Precious and pleasant riches of knowledge. In fact, I think about my house. I want my house, my family, to be built on wisdom, not on foolishness. Then to be established for the foundation of our house, to be understanding, for knowledge, knowledge of God, fear of God, knowledge of his word, knowledge of his truth, knowledge of his ways to fill every room, my kids’ rooms, my room, the room where we sit down to eat. Therefore, every place in my house filled with the knowledge of God. His ways, his word filling all the rooms in my house.
Don’t you want that?
God, please cause our houses to be built on wisdom and established with understanding. May every room in our houses be filled with knowledge of You.
