Today’s Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:6 NIV; Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.
You are holding the seeds God intends for you to sow; what are you going to do with them? Here in Ecclesiastes 11:6 we are instructed to cast them out and trust God for the results.
Verse four speaks loudly to me and tells me to stop trying to look for the perfect time to sow. How many times have I not cast any seeds because I was looking for the right time or could not see the results that would happen?
Verse 5 reminds me I do not understand the actions of God in the process. Just as in the forming of the baby in the womb I have to trust God for the birth of the seeds I plant.
We do not know which of our seeds will succeed so let’s just cast them each morning and work all day knowing God will grow what He desires.
What seeds do you have to cast?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for the seeds You have given me. Thank You for Your Word that encourages me to sow what I have. I trust You and Your ways to grow these seeds as You intend. Grant me the energy and faithfulness to continue to sow and work diligently. Amen
