29. Day Dreaming Vapor – Ecclesiastes 11:1-6

Wise people help those in need, but the larger concept that Solomon moves us toward today is the idea that we will never lack for excuses to not help one another (or to work in general). There will always be something we can point to that will give us a reason to not step into the things that we know we should be doing. Sometimes it is even tempting to wonder if anything we do for God really matters, for example, when we pray for a friend and they don’t get better or we share the gospel and it doesn’t seem like anyone believes. The Book of Ecclesiastes is now moving us to push beyond what we see, to trusting what God does with our faithfulness.
