CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS
By: Irvin L. Rozier
Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters?
Ecclesiastes 11 verse 1 "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
What is God telling us through this passage of scripture?
Sowing of spiritual seeds that will one day yield a harvest? Giving to others (not necessarily money but time, giving of ourselves, helping those in need, praying for others, helping our neighbors, our communities). I know when I plant corn seed in my garden, I plant in faith that the seed will sprout, will grow, and I will soon reap a harvest of golden ripe sweet corn. The LORD tells us we reap what we sow. Have faith in Him who has said "give, and it shall be given unto you".
I threw a rock in a pond. It hit one spot, but the ripples of the disturbed water spread out and eventually reached the shore. I believe the LORD is telling us to keep on working for Him..that our labor is not in vain.
