(A simple series highlighting verses from each chapter of the book of Proverbs)
Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands. Proverbs 14:1 HCSB
This house is built using truths from this book such as:
- Living in the fear of the Lord
- Following the path of righteousness
- Choosing words that instill trust and respect
- Giving to the poor
- Correcting and rebuking the children
This house is destroyed ignoring and rejecting truths from this book by:
- Living for personal gain
- Following the “whatever feels good” path
- Stirring up strife and contention with words of gossip and contempt
- Hoarding
- Allowing the children to do as they please
