Cast Your Bread on the Waters

So we see here that it is God who gives food and we can also conclude that our verse is telling us that God would have us to "share our portion" with others in need around us. I think that we can conclude, without stretching the meaning of our text, that the waters are all kinds of people who we may providentially know, and come into contact with, who have a need for the basic necessities of life. At this time, we want to look first at what it means to cast your bread on the waters. And 2nd – We want to look at the reward for the righteous person that does the casting.
