Read Mark 4:26-29
One of the great joys of this time of year is planting seeds. I am still amazed how some of the tiniest of seeds (tomato seeds) can produce such enormous vines loaded with tomatoes. Last Tuesday our family sowed tomato and pepper seeds in little containers in our sun room. We watered them. We prayed for God to grow them. The power and potential in those tiny seeds will soon burst out of the ground.
Jesus declared the Kingdom is like this. The seeds are sown. People go about daily living, sleeping, and eating. But when the time is right, the earth bursts forth with stalk, the head, and then the full grain. Before you know it a tremendous harvest is ready and ripe.
God’s Kingdom is coming. It is growing. The ripe harvest will come in due time. Never give up hope. Long before the harvest or the stalks even break through the ground, the seeds are growing. God does this amazing work.
