DEVELOP YOUR BUSINESS FIRST

Proverbs 24:27

Develop your business first before building your house.

This verse's big challenge can be traced back to the "smaller" issues facing families. Modern families are sometimes set up with the wrong priorities. We find kids blaming their parents, and parents blaming grandparents, and so on and so forth. It’s truly just a vicious cycle of blame. King Solomon said that there’s nothing new under the sun and I've even heard some preachers say, “It’s just the same old stuff happening to new people.” A preacher who was solemnizing a wedding asked the bride, “Do you take this man for better or worse?” The bride responded, “He can’t get no worse, and there's no hopes of his gettin’ any better, so I'll take him ‘as is.’” When someone enters into a marriage unprepared, or just prepared for the status quo, a seed for future problems is planted. King Solomon said that a person's business should be developed first and this means that you should fix yourself first before you start building a house, a home or a family. So, how do you fix you? That's easy, get right with God and seek His righteousness first.
