23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 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 five verses start off telling us that when we have a job to do we should do it to the best of our ability as if we were doing it for God Himself. It goes on to tell us that everything thing we make does not last forever so we need to prepare in a way that we have what we need year round, you might call this budgeting. It goes on and shows how biblical times people used the fields to feed the animals, the sheep to supply clothing and the goats to supply milk and they would also sell some goats along to help pay bills. Also goats were used for food and there was always enough for the servants to. I can remember growing up and families help each other out by trading out services that they could do. This scripture kinda reminds of this and it would be nice today things like this still took place, where people traded out their services. Go to church today and let God lead you in the direction He wants you to go, have your heart and mind open for Him to speak to you.
