Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled will all precious and pleasant riches.  Proverbs 24:3-4 (NKJV)

Wisdom, understanding and knowledge... have you been looking for them?  In the piles of papers on the desk… under the laundry pile… somewhere in your purse… possibly in the dirty dishwasher...  In the mess that you call "home", are these three things eluding you?  Are you wishing you had even one of these on any given day, let alone all three?  "I can't get organized the way it is.  How am I supposed to bring in wisdom, understanding and knowledge?!"  Guess what… you're not.  He is.  

You can't achieve it on your own.  You need help, and when you ask for it and seek the Lord you will begin to see what He has for you.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a home blessed with wisdom from the past experiences the Lord had you go through to share with others?  How about understanding through God's eyes and the knowledge to learn from the Lord's teachings?  Build, establish, and fill your home with these riches.  Through this struggle in your life right now, the Lord may be trying to do just that.  

Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the house that You have blessed me with.  I'm so sorry that I haven't been as faithful with it as I should be.  Help me to get through this trying time.  Help me to stay focused with my eyes on You.  I long to have wisdom, understanding and knowledge in my home.  I look to You for these precious riches Lord, and wait on You to provide them in Your way.  May my mind, eyes and heart remain open to You to speak to me.   Through all of this, bless me with increasing wisdom, understanding and knowledge, so my home will be overflowing with Your goodness and love.  
In Jesus name,
Amen.
