Cast your bread upon the waters

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
September 4th 2022, 1st Holy Day of the month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

September is our “Church School Coming Month”. Let us learn three things from today's passage.

The first is that we are the stewards of our gifts and we should use them faithfully for the LORD. The LORD has given gifts to each of us. We are entrusted to manage them. We should use them not only for ourselves but also for the Lord.

The second is that we should do good with all our hearts for the souls from the Lord. We have been given love from the Lord. With that love, we do good with all our hearts. We testify and pray to intercede for unsaved souls. Also, we encourage the souls who are saved but being away from the church.

The third is to remember that the Lord does wonders beyond human understanding. Even if we don't understand it at the time, the LORD often does wonders after many days. Let us walk in trust and expectation in the Lord!

The circumstances we are currently placed may discourage us. Nevertheless, let us trust and hope in the Lord, testify and intercede for the souls!

<The Verse of the Bible>
Cast your bread upon the waters;
after many days you will find it again.
Give portions to seven, yes to eight;
for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (NIV)
