"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
Like many of you, I love to decorate, I call it a more "creative" decorating, because it's most always on a budget. (You can actually find some great "treasures" on Craigslist, resale shops & even at garage sales...our house is filled with some of these "rare & beautiful treasures," some are more "rare" than "beautiful" but they do work so I guess that's O.K.) Most of us love to see beautifully decorated homes, there's something in us that are just drawn to homes that have been tastefully put together.
This verse is such a picture of how our lives are like a house being built. We can choose to fill our lives with all kinds of things the world may offer, but if we instead choose to build "wisdom" from God's Word & "understanding" into the very foundation & framework of our lives, the Bible says that we are storing our minds and our hearts, our "rooms," who we are inside, "with rare & beautiful treasures."
Praying that our lives will be like beautiful houses that others are drawn to...not for what we reflect on the outside, for what the world may see, but for the treasure we are filled with on the inside. Bless you today!
