Paint on a house is aesthetically pleasing but it provides zero support to the house. Studs are not very aesthetically pleasing and that is why we cover them with drywall and mud and ... paint. We often spend more time on the outside of our "house" and we don't spend enough time on the things that provide support, like a stud.
Lord, help me to have a firm foundation by spending more time on the things that matter to you and less on what matters to the world.
