THE WISE BUILDER
"Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding"
Proverbs 4:7
In this scripture(Matthew 7:35-27), the journey of life is likened to building a house. Here,Our Saviour made it clear that if wisdom goes before every action and conclusion, the individual in question will not end up in regrets. Still following the analogy of Jesus; in the choice of building materials, the wise man will choose genuine and durable materials though they may be more expensive. He engages the services of experts not minding their charges. At the end, he spends more but fulfil his desire. On the other hand, the foolish man uses cheap materials, employs cheap and unskilled labor, he may spend less but ends in tears and regret. Applying this truth to our walk with Jesus, wisdom chooses to go the long and hard way as long as it leads to the right destination.
Unfortunately, we live in a time when everything is being simplified. So much emphases on stress control. They have interpreted the narrow way as stress inducing, convincing the sinner that God is not a cosmic kill joy, so whatever brings happiness and joy cannot be against God's will (Not true)
*Choosing the narrow way and walking in it is the highest display of wisdom.Don't be a fool.*
