In the Bible we find a story that happened many years ago and that most people know or have heard. It is about the time when Joseph the son of Jacob was imprisoned in Egypt and the Pharaoh of that time had a dream.
In short, there were 7 fat cows in the dream that represented 7 years of abundance and then appeared 7 skinny cows that devoured the fat cows and meant that after the 7 years of abundance they would sell 7 of a famine so terrible that it would devour the abundance of the last 7 years. The dream came true and by advice of Joseph Egypt was the only nation with provisions during the seven years of famine and that led him to be the main power of the time.
Reflecting on this story I fell into the account that those periods of abundance followed by periods of scarcity always come into our lives. Maybe not as much as 7 years but there are times when we do very well and then times so bad that there is no memory of the good. That is why it is important that we know how to administer what we are given, not to spend everything we have but to maintain the caution that bad times come without warning.
Let's be precocious and always trust in God!
