Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds, for riches don’t last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.
-Proverbs 27:23-24(NLT)
MANAGING RESOURCES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you aware of the state of your responsibilities?
Do you care for your flocks and watch them carefully?
The Lord has given us resources abundantly
Are you tending to them faithfully and responsibly?
Don’t take for granted all your riches and possessions
They all need to be carefully watched with great supervision
Stewardship is very important in order to thrive and prosper
Seek the Lord first and tend to his kingdom and you’ll be richer.

Have you seen businesses that have thrived for many years? What do you think is the secret of those who have successful enterprises? One of the keys to prosper in business is to ensure that you have hands on management on it. I have seen many entrepreneurs who didn’t last long because they left everything to other people’s managerial skills who lacked the care and love that the owners actually have for the business. It is important to steward your own flock, in other words, you have to be wise enough to study and care about the health of your business.
The bible tells us that we must pay attention to all the resources we have for it may not last long.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving me all the resources I need.
REFLECTION
Why is stewardship important in our lives?

And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. – James 3:6(NLT)
A FLAME OF FIRE
A poem and essay by ILMA
The mouth spits out words that can hurt or help
It can serve the worst master which is the “self”
The tongue is a flame of fire; it corrupts the body
It can set your whole life on fire or can damage anybody.
Do not take for granted what this little tongue can do
It has ruined many people and their relationships too
The tongue is set on fire by hell itself, so watch out
This little flame of fire can be enormous and burst out.
________________________________________
The most pained, angry or dysfunctional people usually have been a victim of the tongue. They have heard a hurting word in the past that contributed to what they have become. “Hurt people hurt people” is a phrase we commonly hear when we witness a wicked person who unstoppably brings pain to others. These pained people go through life without knowing how to cope with those lies they heard about themselves. Most of these lies or words spoken to them bring them shame and guilt which debilitate their lives. The bible says that the tongue is a flame of fire that can destroy because it comes from hell itself.
PRAYER
Lord, please guard my mouth to only say kind words.
REFLECTION
What kind of words escape your mouth?
