"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.... Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterward build thine house" (Proverbs 24:3,27). "I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air" (1 Corinthians 9:26).
We cannot build with certainty;
We cannot fight or run,
Unless there is some clarity
On how to get it done.
We need a blueprint, so to speak,
That lays out what's required.
What is it that we truly seek?
How much is it desired?
Are there obstacles to clear
From God's appointed field?
Are there sins that we hold dear
That we have yet to yield?
May God give us a heart to plan,
Before we start to build.
The question is not if we can,
But rather if we've willed.
