CONCEPT – MANAGING YOUR HOME  (Day 1 of 7)

I was hanging out in Proverbs and ran across this.

Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind … Proverbs 11:29a ESV

I was like, whoa! Thought I’d look it up in the Amplified to get a better picture.

He who troubles (mismanages) his own house will inherit the wind (nothing) … Proverbs 11:29a AMP

My mind ran through the scriptures I knew off the top of my head (leadership in the church needing to manage their home well, the Proverbs 31 gal who manages her home well, etc.).

And then I thought about a recent discussion I had with a friend where she said, “I want my husband to look forward to coming home after a day of work.” She wanted their home to be warm and welcoming. There was also the hint of wanting him to look forward to spending time with her.

Another friend has the gift of hospitality (her home is certainly not perfect), but when you walk in the door, you know you are welcome. It is a safe place to rest or seek encouragement.

So today, let’s give some thought to our homes and what God wants them to be. What is it to wisely manage our homes and make them beacons of light and love?
