Send out your bread upon the waters,
    for after many days you will get it back.
Divide your means seven ways, or even eight,
    for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (NRSVUE)

Whoever observes the wind will not sow, and whoever regards the clouds will not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NRSVUE)

Don’t be too afraid to take a step of faith!

• Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (Bible Hub) “Cast your bread on upon the waters for after many days you will find it. Give a serving to seven and also to eight for not you do know what will be evil on the earth.”
• Ecclesiastes 11:1–Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later
• עַל־ (al) above, over, upon, or against (yet always in this last relation with a downward aspect) in a great variety of applications 
• פְּנֵ֣י (penay) On the face, on the surface
• “This proverb has been found in the Egyptian source the Instruction of Ankhsheshonqy (“do a good deed and throw it in the river; when it dries up you shall find it”) and in the Arabic proverbs. If Ecclesiastes follows the route of Ankhsheshonqy, it suggests that a spontaneous good deed carries no guarantees of reciprocity but that ‘what goes around comes around.’” - IVP Bible Background Commentary 
• We do not know what each day may bring. Don’t wait if God is asking you to offer generosity.
• Generosity can be: Time, encouragement, empathy, financial, resources, a listening ear, practical help, advocacy, driving someone to an appointment, babysitting, advice, genuine love and concern.
• Generosity does not mean allowing someone to mistreat you or put you in a harmful position.
• You cannot outgive God. We are called not just to pray, but to do.

Give without thought of what you will get in return. Also, be discerning about how God is calling you to give.
