Ecclesiastes 11:1 says, "Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again".
The phrase "cast your bread upon the waters" is a literary expression that means to take a risk or do something good, usually without expecting much in return. In Ecclesiastes 11:1, the Hebrew word "yamin" is used to describe the passage of time, which suggests that the results of one's actions may not be immediate. This encourages believers to be patient and maintain faith, trusting that God's timing is perfect.
