Regardless of the purpose /use of the building the principles are the same. Precept must be upon precept; for you cannot add precepts where there are no precepts.

1. Purpose –You’ve got to begin with a purpose in mind. What will the building be used for.? This will determine how the foundation is built, where the windows and doors are located. Do you need a kitchen? bathrooms? bedrooms? steps? etc.

2. Plans: Next, you’ll need a set of approved architectural drawings. (A wise man will follow the instructions as written in the word of God). (Matthew 7:24)

3. A qualified contractor /builder: It takes wisdom and skill to build. Always check the references and qualifications of anyone claiming to be a contractor. (The Holy Spirit Is your most Qualified contractor.)

4. Money and Material resources: Supplies must be readily available.

5. Tools and Equipment: Having the right tools is half the job completed.

6. Time and patience: Set a completion date/timeline. How long will it take to lay the foundation? How long will it take to build the walls? Each segment must have a time schedule for completion. A progress report.

7. Dedication and commitment: It’s one thing to get started, but it’s another to stay focused and finish what you started.

PS. To Destroy–simply do nothing.

God is infinitely, consistently and perfectly wise. The fact that God can never be more-wise means he is always doing the wisest thing in our lives. No plan we could make for ourselves could be better than the plan God has already crafted and is carrying out for us.

We may never understand his ways today, but, because God is infinitely wise, he’s truly working all things out for our good and for His glory.

Romans 11:33 say’s ..”Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out.

Wisdom is more than just head knowledge and Intelligence. A truly wise person understands all the facts and makes the best decision. A wise person uses his heart, soul, and mind together with skill and competence. But even the wisest person on earth could never come close to being as wise as God.

Wisdom is the ability to devise perfect ends and to achieve those ends by the most perfect means. It sees the end from the beginning, so there can be no need to guess or conjecture.

Wisdom sees everything in focus, each in proper relation to all, and is thus able to work towards predestined goals with flawless precision.

In Luke 2:40 the Bible say’s, “The child grew, and waxed strong in Spirit, Filled with Wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.”

In Ephesians 5:17…”Be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”

In God, boundless wisdom and endless power are united and this makes him utterly worthy of our fullest trust.

The word “fear” in this context is better understood as reverence, meaning… to honor with deep respect. Somewhat like the respect we would give to a parent, grandparent, or someone of esteemed office or stature.

Therefore, having the right perspective of who God is, is essential to a healthy Christian life.

God is not some “higher power” or” the big man upstairs” or myth or religious deity compared to Buddha, or any other god known to mankind.

But, the Eternal God, Creator of heaven and earth and all that is therein… is Sovereign, Immortal, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, Infinite, Self-sufficient, Self-existent, He is Loving, Just, Merciful, Good, Gracious, Faithful, Triune, Wise and he is Holy.

These twenty (20) attributes of God give us a glimpse of his character and how he identifies with us. To get to know him is or should be our uttermost desire and Goal. The Apostle Paul wrote, “That I might know Him … ” (Philippians 3:10).

To know Him is to worship Him for “Who He Is” and not for what he has done.

Here is Wisdom… Hear the Word, Understand It, and Do it.  Ephesians 5:17 says, “Be not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16).

“Surely there is a vein for the silver and a place for gold where they find it.

2. Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

3. He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness and the shadow of death.

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up; they are gone away from men.

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:

8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

^12. But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14 The depth saith, it is not in me: and the sea saith, it is not with me.

15 I t cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

²⁰   Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living and kept close from the fowls of the air.

22 Destruction and death say We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven.

25 To make the weight for the winds, and he weigheth the waters by measure.

26 When he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

27 Then did he see it and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

The effect of Wisdom is to make us more humble, more joyful. more godly, more quick-sighted and resolute in doing His will.

But the fruit of Wisdom is Christlikeness–Peace, Humility, and Love. (James 3:17).

Thus, the kind of Wisdom that God waits to give to those who ask him, is Wisdom that binds us to himself — Wisdom that will find expression in a spirit of faith, and a life of faithfulness.

Your words matter.. you can speak words of life or words of destruction…” Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21).

Your words demonstrate your Wisdom (or lack thereof).

Wisdom requires hearing, understanding and acting on the word. (Doing exactly what He said).

When you hear and understand the word… you can speak with confidence and boldness. Jesus our perfect example, taught as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Matthew 7:29).

I Forgive You: 

When someone has wronged us in any way, we get upset.     

We want to say certain things to them, even do things to     

 them, like playing the payback game, tit-for-tat, as we say.

But the word teaches us to forgive those that wrong us, no matter what they have done.

In some situations, this is very hard, but God says, “If you don’t forgive others, neither will I forgive you. (Matthew 6:14-15)

 We all need to be forgiven because none of us are perfect.

This is why we have to be careful of the things that we say and do; our intentions are not always to hurt someone, but sometimes we do.

Be careful what you say and do to others.

But if such a time does arise, always be willing to forgive and always be willing to ask for forgiveness.

 Have a blessed day! FROM MY HEART TO YOURS. (Sis. kimberly Jackson).

A fool builds his house on the sand. (Matthew 7:26).

2. A wise man will hear and increase learning. (Proverbs 1:5).

Fools despise wisdom and instructions. (Proverbs 1:7).

3. The ear of the Wise seeks knowledge. (Proverbs 18:15).

Fools hate Knowledge. (Proverbs 1:22).

When you think you know all there is to know about God, He then takes us deeper and higher, and in utter amazement we humbly declare– your ways Lord; they are infinite.

Our best and deepest thoughts are nowhere close to the depth of God’s wisdom and knowledge.

The queen of the south, came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, Behold… a greater than Solomon is here. (Luke 11:31).

Endowed with The Wisdom of God, kings, and queens will come from near and far to hear what we have to say.

Of all our desires, none can be compared to wisdom. (Proverbs 3:15).

For an Ornament of Grace and a Crown of Glory…get wisdom. (Proverbs 4:9).

For the highest promotions and greatest honor–exalt and embrace Wisdom. (Proverbs 4:9).
