A Proverb A Day: Proverbs 27:23 Do you know where you stand? Financially?

Proverbs 27:23 state, “Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.”
Reading this proverb helps me to understand the necessity of knowing my financial status in this life I live. To know my balance sheet.
Too many times the majority of people step out into this world trying to keep up with Joneses, and we do so to our own peril. Do you know the state of your flocks? Your accounts, your means of income? You herds? How are they doing? Are you sitting well? Or are things looking bad?
No matter where you’re sitting the wise man still looks and takes account. The verse that follows says this: “For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endureth to every generation?”
Be wise.
Wisdom…

Continue to seek wisdom in all you do. Whatever you do in life be it move from one career to another, or whom your choice in spouse may be, or any major purchases such as a home, car, or business investment. Seek the Lord, and he will lead and guide you in the best direction.
He may say no. He may say yes. He also may say wait.
Proverbs 2:2-4 says, “Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight and understanding. Search for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure.”
I like that. See when we’ve lost some money, and a significant amount of money to us, we will turn our homes upside down, check bank statements 10 times or more looking for where our misplaced dollars have went. That is how we are to seek God for wisdom. Verse 6 says, “For the Lord Grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Seek the Lord, and Be wise.
Thanks for stopping by.
