In his sermon on Ecclesiastes 11:1–8, Stephen Davey explains Solomon’s call to live wisely amid life’s unpredictable events and God’s unexplainable works. Solomon reminds believers that because they “do not know” what tomorrow holds, they should take wise risks—invest, work, and obey God rather than waiting for perfect conditions. At the same time, God’s hidden work in creation and daily life should not rob them of joy but inspire trust, since much of life remains a mystery from the womb onward. Davey urges listeners to enjoy the daily “sweetness” of life, seize present opportunities, and serve faithfully even when results are unseen. Believers honor God by acting with courage, living with joy, and making the most of each day He gives.
