“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” Proverbs 24:3-4

Dear Heavenly Father, How tempted we are to focus on the outward home you provide. Our culture teaches us to chase the American dream of home ownership, well furnished with the best and most refreshed accessories. We are even tempted to go into debt to have more or to be sad that it will be a long time before get what we want. How shallow this perspective makes us! You show us in your word how a home is truly made a wonderful place. It’s wisdom, understanding, and spiritual knowledge. When we get how to trust you for your goodness, we cease fighting for what we want. When we understand that releasing each other from guilt through apology and forgiveness we start to understand the secrets to a good relationship. When we know the will of God and trust it enough to avoid sin, we will show knowledge that guides us away from fateful decisions. Our homes will be safe, strong and peaceful. They will be decorated by grace and beauty that no big box store could provide. Oh, Jesus, make our homes this wonderful haven you promise. Amen.

A home made by God has his homeowner’s warranty, promising to fix whatever befalls the people there.
