Proverbs 9:1-2 KJV
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
It is no secret that the wisdom of the Proverbs is easily a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus builds His house,
Which is the house of His body, the incarnate God
Which is the house of His people, their lives lived in His path
Which is the house of God, the local church
The thing that pricks my heart though is just this; I want to let Jesus build my house too. His wisdom
His power
His timing
His motivation
What He builds will stand the crashing tests of time and eternity. Men may build what they believe to be beautiful works, upon their own ingenuity and hard work, but there is no way they can know how long it will last. Often times it doesn't last their lifetimes, let alone into the lifetime of their children, or greater still, into eternity. Any house built that will not survive eternity is just so much waste.
Wisdom; build my house!
