THE UNCERTAINTIES OF LIFE

Cast your bread upon the waters,
 for you will find it after many days.
Give a portion to seven, or even eight,
for you do not know
what calamity may happen on the earth.
If the clouds are full of rain,
they empty out on the land;
and if a tree falls to the north or south,
in the place that the tree falls, there it will be.
He who observes the wind will not sow,
and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
As you do not know the way of the wind,
or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
likewise you do not know the work of God
who has made everything.
In the morning sow your seed,
and in the evening do not let your hand rest;
because you do not know which activity will find success,
this way or that way,
or if they both will be good.

(Book of Ecclesiastes 11:1-6)

“O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?” Jesus
