Proverbs 11:29 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

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. We surrender control over our home to Him. Not like a fool who serves and trusts only in man, whom he ought not even if he is wise in heart. His words give this command: "Do not trust in noblemen, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation."(Psalm 146:3 NASB)

We are to 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!
