Manage Your Assets Meticulously – Proverbs 27:23-24

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds;

24 for riches do not endure forever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.

Proverbs Club Commentary

All things deviate over time and have a limited life cycle.
Know your assets and adjust them accordingly.
Get out of buggy whips.

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.

Proverbs Club Commentary

In Scripture, a fool is a godless person.
Searching for God is the only hope for a fool.

I often hear people say,
“I am not religious, but I am spiritual.”
IOW: “I don’t need God. I follow a different path.”

so one’s life reflects the heart.

You examine your face in the mirror.
So, examine your heart in your life.
