Waiting for Perfect

Please don’t. Perfect isn’t coming. So many of us wait for the right conditions, the right timing and yet, it consistently alludes us. 

Why?

Because it’s unlikely everything will line up in an orderly way for us in life. 

It’s more likely the opposite, hence 2020…and 2021.  

Ecclesiastes 11:4 They who watch the wind, waiting for all conditions to be perfect, will not sow the seed, and they who look at the clouds will not reap a harvest.

We can watch the wind and wait for it to blow us in a specific direction or we can simply live. 

The clouds don’t need to determine how we live.  We can run against the wind, we can set sail in the wind, we can chase the wind.  

The conditions will never be perfect.

But if a kite always waited to fly once the wind was going in a specific direction at a specific speed, it would probably spend most of its time grounded rather than doing what it was created to do, fly.
