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.
