Proverbs 14

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

Even when we are strong in our faith and delighting in out Father, the foolish can (and will earnestly try) to destroy it. The wicked are fools, but they pry on our weaknesses. Therefore, acknowledge your Achilles heel and constantly ask God to protect you and to help you over come it. That way, when someone tries to tear apart your faith, you have the shield of God to maintain stability. You will be well equipped with His guidance :)

"6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, 
   but knowledge comes easily to the discerning."

God knows our intentions, and He knows the true nature of our hearts. Yes, we have easy access to His wisdom by simply seeking it out. However, this applies to those who are genuinely craving that knowledge and desperately needing it. It's not something you can just be like "Well God, I don't know what the heck You expected me to do with the deck of cards You dealt me, so go ahead and tell me what the deal is." No, understanding is bestowed upon those who come to God with a softened and open heart, a yearning for His working in them. Get out of here mockery; you accomplish nothing!

"32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, 
   but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God."

Even in times of disaster, we have a refuge! We are safe in the hands of out Father! He is our Protector and Savior :) How glorious is He! We will never be struck down! Nevaaaaa!
