Ecclesiastes 11:1-10
Diligence is a word widely used in all areas of life. Every day we hear hundreds of people talking about it, in schools, companies, families, businesses ... as an exhortation to man to make things work well
Certainly being diligent is a value that not everyone has, the diligent man is constantly looking for strategies and motivations to achieve their goals.

Diligent people always have a positive attitude towards life, and they do...and they do everything possible to achieve what they want
The Bible also talks about being "diligent", because God likes diligent people.
The dictionary of the Spanish language defines diligence as "care in the execution of a thing, promptness, agility, haste". A diligent person is described as "careful, quick and active".
Before the text mentioned, Ecclesiastes 9:10 tells us: "Everything that comes to your hand to do, do it according to your strength"
In the Bible we find many people who achieved their dreams by being diligent.

These men performed feats and achieved their dreams, therefore, they took diligence as a way of life
We also find several examples where we are exhorted to practice diligence.
For example the verse quoted in Ecclesiastes 11 we read:
"Cast your bread on the waters, for after many days you will find it Deal seven, and even eight, because you do not know the evil that will come on the earth ". This goes from the material to the spiritual
For example in terms of spiritual things, if we preach the word of God, we should not worry because certainly to the day we will have an answer, if we pray we must maintain a diligent posture "wait for the answer, because soon or in due time God will respond.
If the case is with money, invest your money, do not simply hoard it, you must be diligent with what God has given us and not be like the useless servant, little diligent.
Verse 11.2 "divide seven" urges us to be generous with your wealth; or, in light of verse 1, diversify your investments. In either case, "the evil that will come upon the earth" alludes to bad times, when friends and secure investments are needed.
The preacher warns against the delay in investing, due to the obsession to do so at the ideal moment, when it is expected to obtain maximum profits. Instead, plant your seed "in the morning," that is, invest while you are young.
In this life the best thing to do is enjoy the blessings of God, and all absolute value must transcend this life, and be anchored in the justice of God. Knowing that God will judge all things, must motivate us to live morally, while enjoying what He has blessed us with, we must be diligent...
Obedience to God in the first place will help us to be diligent, we must strive in the minimum to receive the maximum.
Remember that diligent people invest effort to achieve goals.
That must be our attitude towards the things of life, to be "diligent and obedient"
