Nachdaily: 5 Minute Perek Of Tanach Covering The Entire Navi. Sefer Yehoshua, Shoftim, Shmuel, Melachim, Yeshaya, Yirmiya, Ye

I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, with Mishlei Perek 24. Shlomo Hamelech opens the perek by advising us not to be jealous of people who are on the wrong path of life because the purpose of this world is to build a house with wisdom and fill it with knowledge. Verse 3 says, “B’Chochmah yibaneh bayis, u’vis’vunah yiskonon - A house is built by wisdom and founded by discernment.” Al pi chassidus, this is referring to the way that Hashem created the world. Hashem built this world with wisdom, which houses His Shechina, Presence. “He created everything with wisdom.” No matter where you find yourself in life, you can come close to God by connecting with His hidden wisdom residing in that place. Similarly, the body is considered a bayis, house, for the soul. Even if you feel lost, you can come close to God because the divine Presence is with you even in the lowest places. This allows a person to attain higher levels of growth and reach new heights of self-discovery.
