Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters

Joseph Guevara preaches through Ecclesiastes 11, taking the bread as the Word of God and the waters as people, and applies each verse to the work of soul winning. He covers the command to cast out the gospel and the promise that it will not return empty, giving a portion to seven and to eight because no one knows when death will come, being filled with the Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit so that the gospel comes out of us, and not being stopped by the harsh words or angry faces of those who reject it. He closes by urging both young and old to keep sowing morning and evening, reminding hearers that God can save the vilest sinner and that their labor is not in vain.
“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”
