“Serve
the Lord at work, at home and in church. He is your exceeding great reward.
Cast your bread upon the waters in faith that you will find it again after many
days.”
Ecclesiastes 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many
days.
That expression comes from the Bible. We read it in the book of Ecclesiastes, which is a book about the seeming futility of life. It was penned by King Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon asked God for wisdom and was blessed to become the wealthiest king in Israel’s history. Yet he wrote, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?” However, Solomon also wrote, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” To finish quoting that expression above, the scripture says, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”
God has not called you to be more than you are, he has called you to be all that you are. And we are all called to all the world. Whatever you do in life – at work, in your relationships, in your pastimes – do it with all your might, as unto Jesus. We are told that all we do in life needs to be done in the name of Jesus. In the Lord, our labour is never in vain.
So go for it! Give it your all, even when it feels like you’re slogging away the old sausage machine, churning out sausage after sausage with no return. Do it for Jesus, at work, at home and in church. He is your exceeding great reward. Cast your bread upon the waters in faith that you will find it again after many days.
God-tracking is working for Jesus.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“Help me to see a return for my toil but even if I
don’t, help me to do it with all my might.”
“My God, I get so fatigued doing the same old after the same
old, every day. Sometimes I feel like I’m making no ground; like I’m slogging
away without return. But I know now that all I do in life – especially my work
– is to be done for you and in the name of Jesus. So, I change my thinking and choose
to dedicate my work and my relationships to you. I do it for you, Lord. I know
in you my labour is never in vain. Help me to see a return for my toil but even
if I don’t, help me to do it with all my might. Amen.”
