Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed

Ecclesiastes 11:1-8

Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.

Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.

If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.

Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun. 

However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless.

A collection of proverbs on wisdom and folly, wise sayings, and practical advice.

Why?

For we don't know what will be next, do our best to prevent the disaster come.

Invest in ventures is treat well to us.

Keep today for light is sweet, when pass away there is nothing that exists.

作者要人決定信還是不信。用例子來說明人該有的態度

有信心冒險，也要完全交託。穀物撒在水上是指船運，這是投資需要等待的。更明確說要交給神，冒險卻是有確據的交託。不是無奈的等。

等待中，仍然要做自己的本份。人無法預測中，一方面等待、一方面做該做的。若要等到天時地利人和，永遠無法工作。積極工作，持續等待。不必擔心明天會如何

要有長遠的眼光：幫助別人，為自己的以後舖路。現在有資源要為以後打算。因為未來是不可知的。為以後的日子打算。享用的恩典預備將來的事情，永生的事。

Be a wise man and the consequence will come as what we have prepared.
