Against All Odds

Text: Ecclesiastes 11:4 "He who observes the wind will not sow and he who regards the clouds will not reap." There are times when we decide to embark on certain ventures but the prevalent situation of the time stands as a discouraging factor. It may be a move for business expansion, going into a new line of business getting a degree,embarking on a building project or even getting married. One thing we may have observed in life is that favourable situations may not always be available to us for our endeavours. In other words, the right circumstance for a good intention may not always be there. This is why having a great God who is over and above unfavourable situations is a great privilege. So, what should be our response in situations like this? Should we fold our arms, waiting for the right circumstances before we step out? The answer we get from the text above is no! In Genesis chapter 26:1-3, the famine in Gerar made Isaac to decide to leave Gerar for Egypt. Logically, that seemed like the right thing to do but God said no. He obeyed God and set out to sow in that same land. And the result? He reaped in the same year a hundredfold and God's blessing for prosperity was upon Him(Gen 26:12,13). The aftermath of the pandemic may have made you unsure of what to do with your plans for the year. You need to seek God's will concerning that endeavour. Speak to God, trust Him and he will direct your path(Pro 3:5,6) And like Isaac, He will prosper you and command a hundredfold blessing upon your life. Shalom
