Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ecclesiastes 11:3

"If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be." — Ecclesiastes 11:3 (ASV)

The tree falls the way it is inclined; but when it has fallen, there it must remain. God grant that you and I may fall the right way when the axe of death hews us down! Which way are we inclined?
