BREAD-WATERS

YOUR BREAD-WATERS, ECCL.11:1 Looking hard at, locking down hard upon, the scriptural literalism, the nominal fact of "casting thy bread upon the waters," of Ecclesiastes 11:1, we can see many things easily. "Ecclesiastes 11:1 King James Version (KJV) 11 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Normally, throwing bread upon the waters results in soggy bread, fish bait, crab and shrimp bait. Unless the bread is tethered to a device to retrieve one's bread, and its catch with it, we deem our bread to be wasted, normally, naturally. But, when we view bread as allegory, as aphorism, as proverb, another view of Eccl. 11:1's mystery may emerge. Then we see that the material force may induce, conduce cosmic force. Bread is material. "Bread of life." Bread is made by man, processed. Life is bestowed upon mankind by means unknown to us. Man is as great of a mystery as is any faith. It is because of mankind's mystery, there are many faiths in mankind. "You reap what you sow" is another view of this supernatural mystery, of Eccl. 11:1; a 'quid pro quo' at the apex of faith in God's divine grace. The cosmic power of God to heal it, remedy what ails in seasons untold. What do you see, allegorically, when vetting, refracting Eccl 11:1 through your life's experiences?
