BUILDING A HOUSE

What proverbs 24 says about building a house: 
- -  We should know how all things work together for a house:  how the house fits into God's Kingdom and how it will be used. 
- -  The site must be made fit or ready.  Before we build the house, the site must be prepared; similar to clearing trees, providing drainage, leveling the foundation area, etc.
- -  It is built by wisdom.  We should know and appreciate what is important for every basic purpose and function of the house. 
- -  It is established by understanding.  It is a place where we and others will live.
- -  Its chambers are filled with knowledge.  The rooms should ready for knowledge so the things acquired by knowledge will find their places in the rooms.

Whatever we think of a house (building) or a household (parents and family), the beginning, and most important aspects are:  spiritual, mental, understanding, common knowledge, preparation. 

How we live determines where we live. 

THE WAY WE JUDGE

The way we judge others is the way that we will be judged.  We are quick to judge others, never thinking of judging ourselves to see if fault maybe within us.  We judge others knowing the barest of obvious facts.  Sometimes our judgement is based upon nothing but suspicions originating only form our imaginations.  We have no real evidence to on which to base our judgements.  If we judge others from our own inward suspicions, how do we know the others are not judging us the same way?  They will not form opinions based upon what we do, but upon feelings arising within themselves.  We do not want them to do that, so we should not be that way. 

God never does that.

God judges us, he knows even our most minor sins.  Some of these sins we are not even aware of as being sin.  Yet God is full of loving kindness and patience, he is long suffering.  But there will be a day when his patience will end.

We are willing to correct others but will not try to correct ourselves.  Before the Final Day comes let us use God’s help correcting our own errors.
