We continued the talk from the previous week called The House that Wisdom Builds. One thing humans have in common is a deep longing to be someone who can stand the test of time and stand tall through all the experiences of being human. In part 2 of this talk, we looked at a few things that we can do to help build a house (us) that can withstand and last through all the elements of the human experience.

The first thing we brought up was the ability to articulate what it is you long for. There is this moment when Jesus asked Blind Bartimeus “what can I do for you?” It's interesting that Jesus still asked the question when it seems obvious what Bartimeus needs. In our journey of life, being specific about what you long for in your life is something Jesus looks for and is important to Him.

Secondly, understanding there is a difference between having no pain and being healthy. Do you wonder how much of our lives are we just trying to get out of pain, but not doing what it takes to get to a place of health. It is vital our motivation in life shouldn’t just be to not have pain, but to be in a place of health.

The last thing we talked about was asking ourselves the question, why is it so hard for us to receive instruction, advice and correction? Pride. The enemy of the house your soul longs to build is Pride. The enemy of your future is Pride. Imagine with me just on the other side of Pride is a house can be built that will stand the test of time. But because of Pride and Self Preservation we will miss out on wisdom, understanding and knowledge to build a house that goes into the future and increases in strength, courage and blessings. It’s time to confront the pride in our life.
