Intelligent faith

 "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?" Luke 14.28

Intelligent faith has nothing to do with excitement, enthusiasm or feelings. Rather, Biblical faith requires the use of the intellect. It weighs, measures and checks that it is 100% in agreement with what he believes. From then, one must throw himself body, soul and spirit. That is, put all strength towards his goal.

Prudent

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." Matthew 7.24-25

Building a house on the rock requires more time, money and overall effort. However, once ready, nor even tsunamis are not able to bring it down.
The same applies to one who builds his life on Jesus. That is, listening and practicing His Word.

Keep it pure

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Psalms 119:9

To observe God's teachings is to practice His Word. This gives a young person wisdom to build a family, a career, and friendships.

Wise

"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." Proverbs 14:1

The one who has the power to create children also has the power to build her family. It is a glorious task for a wise woman.

Despite his strength, the man does not give birth to children; neither does he have the ability to create them. Only the woman has this power. However, it is the wise woman that creates and builds. The foolish one creates but destroys. For this reason, when a man seeks and finds this wise woman, he has found the favour of God.

God's Dwelling Place

Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where then is a house you could build for me? And where is a place that I may rest?" Isaiah 66:1

The Holy Spirit came to guide us and also to be our necessary strength during tribulation. When we are filled with the Spirit of Jesus, we have the capacity to face any situation that arises.


We were built to be His dwelling place: He wants to walk with our feet, hear with our ears and speak to and console people with our mouth. 


This verse (besides revealing the GREATNESS OF GOD), explains that we are His feet here on Earth; to reach those who are lost through their vices and sin.
