   PROVERBS 24:1-3
        Pro 24:1  Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
        Pro 24:2  For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
        Pro 24:3  Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
        Pro 24:4  And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

I chose this because we all probably have done this, the word envious means jealous, you can get angry jealous. Have you ever got angry because someone got a new car and it was what you wanted? Have you ever wanted to be with someone because they are cool this is common in our age look at hollywood,  we say man if I could just hang out with _________ you fill in the blank. GOD tells us this, they study destruction, they always try to get more money, women, cars, homes, or whatever their heart desires, but they never desire GOD. That is what makes them wicked.

       Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
       Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
       Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
       Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

These verses pretty much tell us everything about hollywood. Not trying to call them out but that’s all we ever hear about from that place. God tells us through wisdom we can build our house, JESUS said on the ROCK we build our house. JESUS is the foundation which wisdom builds the house by us understanding that it is established which means our house is stable in the faith of JESUS.

         Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Then by the knowledge GOD fills us with grace and comfort of precious and pleasant riches. The chamber being our souls. You can apply it to your life physically that as long as you work for what you got and did it honestly and don’t forget GOD in your wealth that GOD will bless us and some will be able to give to their children’s children.
Remember JESUS is the foundation wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in the chamber and JESUS is the cap stone to.
