Reading: Proverbs 27:23-24
23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
Our society in recent years has stressed the idea that no matter what we want, we deserve it and should buy it for ourselves. “We are worth it.” This attitude has gotten our whole nation into trouble. People are filing personal and business bankruptcies and losing their homes and businesses because they have been duped into believing this idea. As a result we have made poor business and personal decisions. God wants us to pay attention to our herds and to know the condition of our flock. That means we should watch our finances and spend with in our means because we never know when bad times will happen. God does not promise us that we will always be successful or that our time at the top will last forever. God wants his people to be good stewards. In being good stewards we protect ourselves, our businesses, our church, our nation and ultimately our world.
God, we pray that you will guide us in our financial decisions. Help us care for what you have given us and know that we are always in your care no matter what happens to us. Amen
