Do You Want What is Behind Door 3?

Proverbs 11:29 a

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: ...

Once again, a proverb says it so clearly, so succinctly.

Most parents and grandparents seek to leave an inheritance to their family.

It could be a good name ...

it could be a home ...

it could be land ... 

it could be an attic of memories ...

but I have never heard of a parent desiring to leave lint, or dust, or air!

We do not have a choice in the inheritance we may or may not receive from our earthly parents.

God tells us that we can know our inheritance earned from our actions in the home. 

He mentions that if we want the wind, lint, dust, air ...

... we just need to trouble our house.

There is no way that I could list all of the ways that a woman could trouble her house,

but ...

how about ...

lack of discipline resulting in a dirty home and/or tardiness

stubbornness and rebellion to the husband's leadership in the home

lack of time with the Lord resulting in an anemic Christian walk

poor choice of friends

lack of follow-through with the children's training

doing what I like before what I should be doing

lack of contentment resulting in poor financial decisions

... --- ... --- ...

Personally, 

I do not want to inherit the wind.
