Ecclesiastes 11:1

"Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again." Ecclesiastes 11:1

So, I was praying yesterday, talking to God and asking for his guidance.  It seems like in life- when it rains, it pours...at least in mine anyway.  I'm either up on the mountaintop or deep in the valley, not a lot of middle ground.  Right now, I feel in the valley with various questions of what to do next.  I'd rather not be specific about the questions but I'm sure everyone can relate to this so I thought I'd share.  So I sat my Bible in front of me, prayed, and just flipped to a page.  My eyes landed on this verse.  Now, it doesn't quite give me an answer but it basically assures us that it's okay to take risks and go with it...knowing that we should definitely or definitely not do something-that assurance isn't realistic...we must choose a path and not be paralyzed by the unknown.  Of course, this does not mean to not seek the Lord's guidance and pray about matters but we can't expect to hear God speak loud and clear and answer every question for us.  I think if we pray first and then make our decisions based upon his Biblical Word-not going against them (although sometimes this can be unclear and confusing), then we should rest assured that there is no reason to regret the path we have chosen.  AND, if we do choose the wrong path, go against his Word, we will realize it eventually, repent, and can know that we can move forward because we are forgiven.

God Bless!
