Proverbs - Priorities THEN Pleasure

Proverbs 27:26-27

The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.


A shepherd who looks well to his flocks and knows that there are seasons for food and seasons that will be difficult for his flocks to graze, is one who is a good shepherd.  This shepherd will have wool clothing and milk from his goats for his family.  Do you consider seasons in your grazing?  Do you anticipate time that might be difficult to spend time with the Lord and take advantage of down times that facilitate such communion?  Do you know that pleasurable pursuits are only to be taken upon His leading after you have done His priorities?  If you know this, you will be clothed well and those around you will be well taken care of.
