The LifeWay material skips Eccl 10 to arrive at Step 4 of “How Can I Handle Life’s Uncertainties?” where we study Eccl 11:1-2, 4-6. The LifeWay Leader Guide commentary suggests that verses 1-2 refer to financial investments. But James Adair narrows his interpretation to the idea of investing in “other people.” He says:
“The Teacher urges his listeners to do good to other people, even if there is no likelihood of immediate return on their investment. Eventually, he says, one's good behavior in regard to others will pay off.”
Pastor Randall Adkisson offers a similar interpretation to Adair’s. How do you plan to present the meaning of these verses?
