Q6: What do this passage teach you about abandoning safety and taking a risk for the Lord?
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest. Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things. Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another—or maybe both. (Ecclesiastes 11:4-6)
Q7: What do the following verses teach us about working for the Lord? Lev.18:1-5, Joshua 1:8.
