Keep an Eye on Your Flock

Image
  Scripture Reading: Proverbs 27:23-27 (NIV) "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grasses from the hills are gathered in, the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goat's milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants." Devotional Thought: In a quaint village nestled among rolling hills, there was a seasoned shepherd named Elias. Known for his wisdom and diligence, Elias was respected by all for his unwavering commitment to his flock. His sheep were not only a source of sustenance but also a symbol of his lifelong stewardship. One crisp autumn morning, Elias noticed that the hills were covered in a fresh layer of grass, signaling a change in the season. While the village was abuzz with preparations for the harves...

How Do We Plan So Our Dreams Come True

Image
Our lives are a field of dreams.  When we were young, we had ambitions.  As a student we dreamed to excel.  As a worker we dare to climb the next position.  As a family person, we pray that our children will do better than us.  We dream, we secure but many times, we long for more.  But what do you do when your time is short and your breath seems come to an end?  Keep dreaming.  Why?  Because we serve a transcendent God and our dreams can live on.  King David realized that his time is short but he desired to build a temple for the Lord.  Here are few things we can learn from him in 2 Chronicles 22. He defined his dream, 22:1 He recognized his hesitations, 22:5 He listened to God, 22:8 He discipled and trained, 22:11 He provided and planned, 22:14 He broadened his network, 22:18 His dream may have not been seen during his lifetime, but he took the steps to secure a future.  While we recognize you can only do as much, trust in God...
