IF YOU WATCH THE WIND YOU’LL NOT SOW
This
is another edition of our Win to Last
Ideas. It is meant to put you in personal
power gear and make you feel great and good to go with momentum throughout
the week and perhaps beyond.
Generally,
life appears to be full of uncertainties. In several nations, prices of
foodstuff, costs of energy, transportation, accommodation and other basic
necessities are going upwards. Living expenses are rising. Some concerned
governments of some nations are battling to see how they can be brought under
control, sometimes with success, sometimes with little or no success. The
economic wind blowing across the world creates some worry and anxiety.
Wind means “moving air” or “air in
motion.” How is wind created? When sun heats the land, the air there is
warmed and hence rises, leaving a vacuum in the space it occupied before.
Cooler surrounding air then rushes in to fill the vacuum. This movement of
rushing air is known as wind. Some
winds are stronger than others, for instance, cyclone, hurricane, etc.
If
you observe the economic winds, you’ll not sow, you’ll not take business,
investment, and career actions that will culminate in a positive change of
story for you. God’s
Word in Ecclesiastes 11:4 says that, “He
that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall
not reap.”
Wind is not all destructive. In
fact, there is wind energy, that
is, the energy contained in the force of the winds blowing across the
earth’s surface. It can be harnessed into say mechanical energy to do various kinds of work such as grinding
grain, pumping water, and so on.
When
others observe the economic winds and are afraid to take an action, that is the
best time for you to harness the unseeming unfavourable wind, into some good economic energy to start or expand your
business, implement that investment advice you have been carrying in your mind
for a long time now, enroll in the university, take up a part-time job to have
extra buck to invest. You can also pay for that land, or start building that
house this week, this month, and so on. Times
may never be better than now.
“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the
evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper,
either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecclesiastes
11:6).
The
uncertain times are when most people don’t act. The few smart, proactive,
future-oriented persons, entrepreneurs, groups, and companies that take action,
most often, are already in the lead
when others adjudge that it is time to act.
