May 2nd: Deuteronomy 19, Ecclesiastes 11 and Acts 10

I think Ecclesiastes 11:1-3 might be advice on investing money. I always thought it was about trying new things or doing good stuff. But the next couple of lines are all about planting and harvesting. So does cast your bread upon the water mean to invest in things and get a good return. Could it be that "give portions to seven or eight" is about mutual funds? Or camel dealers or vineyards... whatever the market of the day was.

Am I way off on this?

  1. maybe Gods stock market. ! Tim.:18-19 "Instruct them to do good,to be rich in good works,to be generous and ready to share, storing up for them selves the treasure of a good foundation for the future,so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed." One thing to always remember when interpreting scripture is "scripture can only be interpreted within itself". Lay up treasures in Heaven" be careful here,it will pay great dividends forever. U.D.
