When God says...
"The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands." (Proverbs 14:1 NKJV)
He gives us an imagery of how family building and home making should be done - the importance of wisdom for the woman to be in tandem with her husband in transforming a house into a home. As foolishness can tear a house down instead of building up, it must be spurned.
A woman full of godly wisdom adorns her house with a family blessed in joy, love and peace. Her presence establishes a place where hopes and dreams are nurtured by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Her house is strong to withstand against stormy intrusions of the cares of the world. She builds and edifies her house to be transformed into home - a holy temple of God's presence.
Yes, being like a wise builder who hears and does the Word of The Lord, wise women are those who belong to the household of God. Jesus is the cornerstone upon whom they build their homes. Apostle Paul exhorts all wise wives (and husbands) with these words: "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord." (Ephesians 2:19-21 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
