The Message

Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 The Message (MSG)

1. Be generous: Invest in acts of charity.Charity yields high returns.

2. Don’t hoard your goods; spread them around.Be a blessing to others. This could be your last night.

3-4. When the clouds are full of water, it rains.When the wind blows down a tree, it lies where it falls.Don’t sit there watching the wind. Do your own work.Don’t stare at the clouds. Get on with your life.

5. Just as you’ll never understandthe mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman,So you’ll never understandthe mystery at work in all that God does.

6. Go to work in the morningand stick to it until evening without watching the clock.You never know from moment to momenthow your work will turn out in the end.
