6 Cycles of Family
Does Anyone Live at Proverbs 127?
Can the Lord use your house, family
as a model of the Proverbs 127 house?
I tried to find the address of
Proverbs 127 on Google’s Maps.
I found…
Proverbs Sacramento, Ca.
Proverbs Way Rd
and a Proverbs Road
also a Proverbs Place
and Proverbs Avenue
But I wonder if anyone lives at Proverbs 127?
Proverbs 127 is the house the Lord built.
It is the house where the laborers follow God’s blue
prints to building more than a house but a Home, a Family.
The House on Proverbs 127 has a security system.
It is not a dog or alarm.
This alarm is activated by prayer.
The security protects against
physical and spiritual harm.
The visible and the invisible.
There are many needs in this house.
The neighbors of Proverbs 127 seem
to have children home alone because
the parents are going to work early and
getting home late trying to pay the bills.
The House at Proverbs 127 is rich in values that
are not effected by material gains and loses.
The House on Proverbs 127 never has
a restless night because the family of
the house knows every morning the
God who created all things gives
mercy with every sun rise.
Sleep in this house is knowing
all things will work out for good.
Children are in this house.
These children are straight as an arrow.
They are strong and healthy.
There is no enemy, no
challenge they cannot handle.
They have nothing to be ashamed of,
no skeletons in the closet.
As the architect of the house is given freedom
to clean through the act of repentance.
The training process of building this house establishes
wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and
discernment in the hearts and minds of all its dwellers.
The architect demonstrated so much love in building
this house that there is no room for anything else.
The House at Proverbs 127 is a model home.
The children living there will be sent like arrows
into the world to build more Proverbs 127 houses.
The architect wants every family on
earth to live in one of His houses.
So where do you live?
Who is building your house?
Can the Lord use your house, family
as a model of the Proverbs 127 house?
There are 6 cycles for a family to navigate
“Cycles of family life”

family
Scripture Reading
Psalm 127 NIV
127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat —
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3 Sons are a heritage from the Lord,
children a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
