How is your flock? Proverbs 27

Good morning to you!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
    How is your flock?  Are you caring for what is important?  OR, what YOU want to care for?
Proverbs 27:23 "Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds."
Life App Bible "Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds."
   Life is uncertain.  We should be very diligent about caring for the future.  We are not promised next year, next month, next week, tomorrow, or even the next moment.  We need to be responsible stewards of God's word just as a farmer with his land and his herds.
   Proverbs 27:24-27
²⁴ For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
²⁵ The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
²⁶ The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
²⁷ And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
   These verses continue telling us the things of this world are not forever. We must tend to what is necessary today.  When the hay is ready it needs to be harvested, otherwise, it will lay over and our livestock will not fare well.  Harvest the herbs when it is time, shear the lambs for clothing and by taking care of the goats some may be sold to purchase more land.  Yet, still, there will be goat's enough for all the family to have milk with their food.
    All in all, these verses are telling us to take care of our business; our livelihood, yet we should be constantly aware of God's word and mission for us.  This whole chapter offers warnings and instructions.  Take time to read PROVERBS 27.   Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace,
