LifeLink Devotions for Wednesday, June 12, 2024

There’s one more wisdom principle for us to apply from King Solomon if we are going to build a life of meaning and purpose. It’s found in Proverbs 24:3-4.

“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”

After laying the foundation of salvation, and establishing our house firmly on that foundation through understanding of how and by whom we were saved, we furnish the inside of the house with rare and beautiful treasures by growing in our knowledge of God and His purpose.

We are all guilty of furnishing areas of our lives with the inferior quality goods that come from the world. Why? We have available to us all the riches of God in Christ Jesus to furnish every room in our house. It’s time to start a little summer clean-up project and remodeling. Check out all the rooms in your spiritual house. Are they furnished with the eternal riches of God’s grace or the cheap imitations of a failing world system? Check out these verses:

Ephesians 1:7-8 “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” 

Ephesians 3:16-19 “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

So, how is your house inspection going? I know I have a couple of rooms that need work. I’d better get at it. The Building Inspector could come today.
