Therefore sow thy charity in faith, without hesitancy or speculation as to results, because they may not seem promising (Ecc 9:10). So in Ecc 11:1, man is told to “cast his bread corn” on the seemingly unpromising “waters” (Psa 126:5, Psa 126:6). The farmer would get on badly, who, instead of sowing and reaping, spent his time in watching the wind and clouds.
