During one
church visit my interaction with 300 fellow worshipers was limited to a time
of Passing the Peace. Following the service I went through the pastor’s receiving
line. We made eye contact and shook hands, but he had absolutely no idea if I
was a member of his flock…nor did he ask. He simply said, “Have a good day.” Although the writer of Proverbs was reflecting
on an agricultural economy, I believe a spiritual application can be made. “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” (Proverbs 27:23-24 NIV).
