On Vineyards

From: The Christian Shepherd: 2002

By: L. Douglas Nicolet

“They made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept” (Song of Sol. 1:6⁶Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. (Song of Solomon 1:6)).

Beloved parents, God has given you a vineyard—a place that is to provide fruit for Him and joy for you. That vineyard is your spouse and children. See that you care for them first. A thousand other needs may press on you—do care for them when you can. But never neglect your own vineyard to care for others.

Ed.
