Dream House

My husband and I are
planning to buy or to build a house. We are distraught about the cost of buying
or constructing a new house and filling it (furniture, appliances, etc). We
have many opinions from our relatives and friends and we even surveyed a low
cost housing in our near municipality. What struck me is one of our Aunts
opinion, she told us to ask God for wisdom and direction in our decision
making.
On that night, I asked
God what He wants for us. I am amazed when He answered me, He said, “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your
home, and spare no expense!” (Isaiah 54:2, NLT). His
answer is very clear. He wants us to build a new house and to spend without
regarding the cost. And that same night, I received the proposed floor plan of
our house from an architect friend.

When I look Isaiah 54 in The Message (MSG)
translation, it says, “Make
your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent
pegs deep. You’re going to
need lots of elbow room for your growing family.” I am
married with 1 (one) child but I’m still praying for an addition to our family
but when I read this word in The Message translation it is now clear to me why
God wants us to enlarge our house and build an addition it’s because of our
growing family. I’m praying and hoping that I will be pregnant with our second
child this year.
Let’s pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your word, for answering us
when we are in doubt and when we need answers. Thank you for being true to your
word and promises. Father, I know that these promises will come to pass in your
perfect timing. Right now, I am entrusting all our plans and cares in your
hands. I love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
