Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 - Living In The Light Of The Limits Of Human Knowledge

1 Spread your bread on the water after a while you will find it. 2 Apportion what you have into seven, or even eight parts, because you don't know what disaster might befall the land. 3 If the clouds are full of rain, they will pour out on the earth; if a tree falls toward the south or the north, wherever it falls, there it will lay. 4 Whoever keeps staring at the wind won't sow; whoever daydreams won't reap. 5 Just as you do not understand the way of the spirit in the womb of a pregnant mother, so also you do not know what God is doing in everything he makes. 6 Sow your seed in the morning, and don't stop working until evening, since you don't know which of your endeavors will do well, whether this one or that, or even if both will do equally well.
