“The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.” Proverbs 14:11

Are you feeling discouraged because you are renting and not sinning by getting a mortgage in order to separate yourself unto God? Are you diligently praying and saving to buy your own home and land, trusting God and Him alone to provide? Here are some commentaries on the above verse that we hope will encourage you to keep looking to Christ, the Author and Finisher of your faith, even in this area:

“Sin is the ruin of great families: The house of the wicked, though built ever so strong and high, shall be overthrown, shall be brought to poverty and disgrace, and at length be extinct. His hope for heaven, the house on which he leans, shall not stand, but fail in the storm; the deluge that comes will sweep it away. 2. Righteousness is the rise and stability even of mean families: Even the tabernacle of the upright, though movable and despicable as a tent, shall flourish, in outward prosperity if Infinite Wisdom see good, at all events in graces and comfort, which are true riches and honours.” Matthew Henry Commentaries
