Flocks and Riches

23 

Know the state of your flocks,
     and put your heart into caring for your herds,

24 

for riches don’t last forever,
     and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.

If someone owns many sheep but doesn’t take care of them, many could die from sickness or starvation.

Verse 23 is often applied to pastors. If a pastor only focuses on the number of people attending church but ignores their spiritual needs or doesn’t teach them from God’s Word, the church will eventually fall apart.

Verse 24 reminds us that wealth doesn’t last forever. We might remember who was rich in 1950, but not in 1650 or 1750. Riches fade away, but God’s Word has stood the test of time for thousands of years.

Think about this: Wealth won’t help us after we die. Instead, focus your heart on things that have lasting, eternal value.
