Devotional - for the ones who are waiting for the right time

"Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap." (NIV)
Ecclesiastes 11:4

Hi,

It turns out, I love chapter 11 of Ecclesiastes. Out of a couple of lessons, there were 2 that stood out for me professionally:

1. If I want to anticipate till the time is right, nothing will ever happen.

I can wait for the perfect timing, but it might never come. The wind will blow its own way, I will never know its path.
So it requires me to dive in. To jump. 
It challenges my fears.
It asks me to be brave.

What would I do if I was braver? 
If I would trust more in the Lord?

2. Move with a strategy.

Verse 2 talks about investing in 8, yes 8, ventures as we do not know what disaster may come upon the land. Even though this certainly applies to farming, I also see the message of strategically thinking.

Don't go in bluntly, but have a strategy for how you want to address business.
And perhaps, have a backup plan for rough times.

Offering you the Premium membership, launching the Find Your Calling program...
Honestly? I find it scary ( the kind of: let's-just-postpone-it-scary).
But I felt comforted and inspired by this Word of God. 

And I hope you do too. Whatever you may go through.

With love,
Jane
