Day 205: Ecclesiastes 10, 11 and 12

Whoever watches the wind will not plant. (Ecclesiastes 11:4)

The preacher of Ecclesiastes teaches that it is better to seize an opportunity, even if it's less than perfect, than to wait for perfect conditions that may never materialize. General George Patton remarked: A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

How many good opportunities have we let slip through our fingers because we were waiting for the perfect opportunity? And did that perfect opportunity ever come? Probably not.

What are you waiting for?
