Friday! Proverbs!
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Proverbs 14:1 NIV
A house is a place of nurture, growth, development, hopefully a place of peace, a place we can return to... home.
But this doesn't seem to be about a physical place...so maybe it's about our heart.
A place of nurture, growth, development... peace.
The foolish, we are own worst enemy...we allow the thinking of this world, the expectation of others to shape how we see ourselves, we don't have hope in anything bigger than us...and it destroys from the inside out.
The start point for the wise is this:
You are unconditionally and completely loved by God.
Then our inner self can become that place of nurture...of peace... built on the hope of the gospel

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
