When God says .......

He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. (Proverbs 11:29 NKJV)

Only a fool troubles his own domain - his house, his work place, his business and all others placed under his control. For a person of common sense, the house is his/her primary project to make it a home - A place of comfort, A place to run to in times of trouble. Neglect over that role, let alone making it a place of trouble, gives him his due reward - the wind, or if there would have been anything, would be blown in the wind.

As believers in the Lord Jesus we are to be wise, surrender control over our home to Him. Not like a fool who serves and trusts only in man, even if he is wise in heart. Allow God to build our house, as it is written: "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1 ESV)

And I say ... AMEN!

When God Says .......

He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. (Proverbs 11:28 NKJV)

It's a pop-up alert not to put our trust in the material things of the world. They are temporal, fleeting and unreliable. They come and go at the wrong timing. They are not around when direly needed.

Rather, we put our trust in The Lord who is the source of everything, as the righteous does. Let's trust in the giver, not the gift. His provisions do not run out. He provides us richly with material things as tools to be a blessing, useful for investment in the physical for spiritual returns. Apostle Paul urged us with these words: "As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good things under grace, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. (1Timothy 6:17-19 ESV)

And I say ... AMEN!

When God says .......

He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. (Proverbs 11:27 NKJV)

He affirms that anyone who seeks will find and will never be disappointed. Those who seek trouble will end up in trouble. Those who seek defect and something wrong with their health and spend much with hi-tech tests to probe their body will find what they look for.

God has set the system - when you seek you will find. When you ask you will be given. When you knock the door will be opened unto you. Hence, one must set in his mind and heart to seek only good, favors and blessings - the things that are of God. 

There once was a young fool who embarks on a journey to seek his fortune. He immediately came upon an old man who invited him to live with him in his castle to be heir of his vast empire as he has no descendants. But he refused, saying 'thank you but no sir. I am on a journey to search for my fortune.'  Off he goes on, which lead him to stumble upon a young beautiful heiress who invited him to be her husband,  to share with her vast wealth, as she had no one with her. But again he refused, to continue in his search for his fortune which took him face to face of a hungry wolf, who asked him: how have you been young man? To which he replied with pride, 'I am in search for my fortune, Mr. Wolf. Along my way here, I met an old man who wanted me to inherit his vast empire, and a young wealthy heiress who invited me to be her husband.  But, I refused them both.  You see Mr. Wolf, I am on a journey to seek my fortune.'  With that, the hungry wolf leaped with joy and said 'what a fortune indeed for me!' 

Let's not be like that fool, who missed and just passed by the fortunes he had encountered and ended up in misfortune. Let's be wise. Let's seek first thing first. Lord Jesus gives this command: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33 NIV)

And I say ...  AMEN!
