This is a call to active, attentive stewardship. The farmer must know his flock — not just in a general way, but intimately, specifically, with ongoing attention. Neglect is the enemy of good stewardship. The principle extends beyond livestock to every area of responsibility: family, work, finances, gifts, relationships. What God has entrusted to us requires our sustained, knowledgeable attention.
Memory phrase: Know and care for what is yours.
Talk about it: What things or people has God given you to care for and look after well?
Prayer: God, help me care well for what You have given me.
