Today's Verse: Ecclesiastes 11:1 (NIV)
Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.
The writer of this book is telling us that, if we live by faith, life is an adventure. It is equivalent to saying that what we sow is what we reap or that what goes around comes around. It also means that we should not be so fearful of the future that our fear causes us to do nothing. Sometimes God blesses us, when we least expect it.
Today's Comments: Today, I have been feeling a little down. My ex-girlfriend, who has been staying with me while her house is being remodeled, is in the process of moving back to her house, which will be completely finished by the end of next week. For the past few days, we have been involved in constant fighting and bickering. Needless to say, what each of us have been casting on the waters has not been very good for either of us.
Often, when we are feeling a bit down, things happen to cheer us up. And that happened to me this afternoon. As I started writing this letter, I received a call from a good friend of mine who invited me to a reception and a free Chinese dinner. I am now feeling so much better, and I thank God that my friend called me when I was in such a bad mood.
The teacher is right, life is an adventure. My whole trip of becoming a deacon has been an adventure, and I pray to God that it continues.
