The Freedom of Not Caring (Ecclesiastes ...

Your Daily Bible Verse
About this episode

Today's Bible Verse: “As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.” – Ecclesiastes 11:5-6

Life is full of mystery—winds we cannot predict, miracles we cannot explain, and outcomes we cannot control. The writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us that God’s work is often beyond our understanding, yet we’re still called to act in faith. Plant your seeds—whether those are acts of kindness, steps of obedience, or bold ventures—and keep working diligently. You may not know which effort will bear fruit, but God does. Our job isn’t to figure it all out; it’s to trust Him enough to keep sowing and to keep moving forward.
