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.”
Here in Ecclesiastes 11:6 we are instructed to cast the seeds we have and to keep working. We are not sure exactly whether the sowing or the tending will lead to success.
As a perfectionist, I need to read Ecclesiastes 11:4 that reminds 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?
Ecclesiastes 11:5 reminds me that I cannot 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 this morning?
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 am trusting You and Your ways to grow these seeds as You intend. Grant me the energy and faithfulness to continue to sow and work diligently every day. Help me to give away what I have and to do all that I can to assure success while trusting You for the prosperous harvest You intend. Amen
