Good Help Is Hard to Find

(Proverbs 27:27 KJV)  And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

I will have enough goats milk to provide for my “maidens” (5291).  I am not sure if that gives me a great deal of comfort on first read.  I don’t have any maidens.  One source suggests that these are the servants who care for the goats as in “eight maids a milking” of the Christmas song.  I guess we could extend it to servants, but I don’t have any of those either.  Maybe in modern life it could be your auto mechanic or plumber.

So?  I think the point is that God is aware of our needs and will make sure they are provided for.  This does not rule out the necessity of our responsible behavior.  It gives us a foundation for our daily trust.
