Ecclesiastes 11:1 ” Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.”

This verse addresses the very practical side of giving. For at first glance, throwing bread (or your hard earned money) onto the water sounds very foolish, but your giving to the needy isn’t about how much you give but rather the attitude you give it in. It also shows the obedience of sending your aid out of sight and more importantly out of your control as the waves wash the bread out to sea. None of us have the foreknowledge of the future and how our giving will matter to others but we do know this…”Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love.” (Hosea 10:12) That’s because whenever we sow what is right and good it will bring a harvest of blessing from the Lord.
