Ecclesiastes 11
Well this is quite a short chapter.....
"Farmers who wait for perfect weather will never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest."
The other verses after this one continues to explain how we need to take action in our faith. Not to follow the same habits we have which keeps us further apart. Also, towards the last part of this chapter, it explains how we should not worry for God plans everything. But we should enjoy life but be cautious in our actions because God knows and sees everything. As it says in verse 9: "it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do, take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do."
That's all i've got for now.......

Re: Ecclesiastes 11
verse 8: However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is meaningless.
the verse is pretty much saying that live your life in faith and days to come will be joyous. but there will be days when we dont pay attention to God and push him away. everything that happens has a purpose so you might end up turning to God and begging him to help you with your problem and come to realization that what you did was wrong. on those bad days, you might be praying for forgiveness and by then what you did is meaningless because God forgives you right away and loves you. we have our good and bad days with God and we will always come to remember them. all days are meaningful in my opinion but i suppose we will look back and see how meaningless they actually are. the present is most meaningful (in some of our opinions).
thats it for now! bye guys!

Re: Ecclesiastes 11
Hi everyone!!! Sorry I didnt post yesterday or monday!! I had a HUGE science project -__-
Anywaay.....
10 "So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless"
I think this verse is telling us to not worry about anything because God is always there, and he is always watching over you. Very similar message to the verse about how the Lord will always take care of you, and that you're more important than birds, and yeeaa xD
Thaats all i got.....
Good Night guys!!!
