When we seek to do good we will build a strong house.
Its structure will stand against challenge and storm.
All that we do will prosper and grow.
Peace, love and joy will be its sweet norm.
Should sin enter in, though it may be tiny,
If we don’t reject it our house will be weak.
When “thunder” and shakings come, how will it stand?
Its future may waver and be very bleak.
Practicing goodness will be as a fortress...
A bulwark of strength which just will not bend.
“Good” is a winner... a spiritual “glue”...
The mortar on which our house will depend.
“A good man obtains favor of the Lord...”
Proverbs 12:2 Amplified Bible
“He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind...”
Proverbs 11:29 Amplified bible
