Day 95 – Be Diligent, for Riches Are Not Forever

²³Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. ²⁴For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? ²⁵The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

Proverbs 27:23-25

Opportunities do not last forever, it is what you diligently invest in now that will reap results later. The scriptures warn us not to squander the opportunities given to us; but we are to be diligent in knowing the state of our flock and investing now, in order to reap the benefits later. Maximize your current opportunities, don’t waste it – take time to think and make the best of your current season. No matter how wealthy you are currently, do not allow any waste!

By gathering in and storing hay you ensure enough food for your flock during the winter times. The season of gathering food for the winter does not last forever. Opportunities available to you now should be seized – please take a little time to think more on this right now.

We can also apply this scripture to the season of life for youth. If you are still in your youth, use your time and your strength for great things today so that you will have provision and rest in your later years! May God help you as you start your life early and may your rest be assured in Jesus’ name. Amen. Have a great and fabulous day!
