“Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds
will not reap.”
Ecclesiastes 11:4
Implicit in the verse above is a warning that we
should not fail to work or plan based on what we think might happen!
Life goes on...despite the ominous reports brought in daily
by the 24/7 news cycle.
It seems we are bombarded with calamity or distress at
every turn.
We should be like the Sons of Issachar of whom it was
said:
“...men who understood the times and knew what Israel
should do...”
1 Chronicles 12:32
We, too as Children of God, should know the times and
the seasons in which we are living.
But our actions should be in response to the prompting
of the Holy Spirit and never a reaction from fear.
Maybe some of you recall the disaster that was
supposed to visit us called “Y2K” when the clocks rolled over to the 21st
century and all out computers worldwide were supposed to fail.
Didn’t happen, despite all of the fear and panic that
it would!
When all you do is watch the wind or look at the
clouds life will rapidly pass you by and instead of declaring: “It is finished”
you might instead say:
“Oh no, where did my life go?”
Are you planting in order to reap?
