READ: Matthew 7:24-27
Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 24:3-4
A wise man builds something. What you have built reveals your wisdom. A lack of buildings, houses, structures and development reveals a lack of wisdom. A lack of roads, streets, paved lanes, highways, motorways, tunnels and bridges reveals a lack of wisdom.
Ignorant people believe that a lack of buildings reveals a lack of money. Actually, that is not the case! Wisdom is what enables you to build. The Bible is very clear about this fact.
Wisdom is the way you think. The way you think makes you build something or not. When I was a student, I could have built a house. I could have bought some land and I could have built a house because my father gave me enough money for that. Unfortunately, I did not have the wisdom of a builder so I did not build anything. Many people have more than enough money but do not build anything.
Many nations have enough money and resources to build roads, highways, streets, bridges, intersections, fly-overs, tunnels, underpasses and overpasses. They simply do not do it because they lack the wisdom to do it. Wisdom makes you a practical person. Many leaders have lofty ideas but are not hands-on practical people. They sit in their armchairs and receive invoices, bills and outrageous estimates for projects. Most of these projects never get started or completed because there is an impractical and aloof personality in charge of things. The wisdom for practical things is what many people lack.
