#soap # Ecclesiastes 11 ## Title: Just Begin ## Scripture: (Ecclesiastes 11:4) “He who watches the wind will not sow, and he who observes the clouds will not reap.” (NET) ## Observation: There is no such thing as perfect timing until after it has passed. Once something has happened, it is possible to look back and think that it had to happen that way. However, in the moment, there will always be some reason to not move forward. The thing you must realize is that, sometimes, the best next step is to simply begin. Before beginning, make sure it lines up with God’s Word, make sure it aligns with your God-honoring values, and make sure you have discussed it with those closest to you. Then, if the Lord has opened the door, move forward. As you move, the Lord may redirect you and the end may look nothing like the beginning. You may begin school to be a doctor and end up an electrician. There is no telling the different adventures the Lord will take you on. The main thing is to begin. ## Application: Once you have checked the main boxes, begin. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for taking us on a great adventure every day.
