The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14:1
I have been meditating on this verse for a few weeks. Whenever I am driving, doing the dishes, sweeping the floor I am muttering these words. I question the words... What does it mean to build? Am I wise woman? What is the difference between the wise and foolish woman? So for me to build I need bricks, lumber, wiring, lights. How do I obtain these? So I am asking Jehovah to show me where these things are.
These are His words and so He is responsible for teaching me how to build, and how to obtain the items needed. I am responsible in asking for directions. For building up my husband, my children and others whom I am in contact with. I am responsible for looking for new ways to protect my family from sickness.
Since my discovery of the good things in the peppermint and chives that are growing in my garden I am making an effort each day to incorporate some in each meal or in the tea. I add chives to the sauces, and salad. I add mint to the green tea we are already drinking and to the salad.
Here is another verse I have been meditating on:
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:3
Does this mean I need to move to a place of trees and a stream? Or does it mean I am already planted where I need to be and I need to look at my circumstances differently?
What do I need to do so that I can harvest fruit?--get fit, plant, make dirt, spend time in the garden.
Am I prospering? Not really. Why not? Or I am spending the money wrong that I do receive? How can I spend less-make more soup!! How can I learn to be more wise? Read!!
Is there fruit in my garden that I do not know about? Dandelions, mint and chives!!
