Mark 4:26-29
“Then Jesus said, ‘God’s kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain. When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!’”
“Jesus also said, ‘The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how. It happens. The earth produces crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens. And as soon as the grain is ready, the farmer comes and harvests it with a sickle, for the harvest time has come.’”
God’s Spirit moves about, preparing heart’s soil, nourishing seed and birthing a harvest. We don’t know how he does it and don’t have to. How wonderful our only responsibility is to plant the seed. May all we believers live in a way that broadcasts seed everywhere we go.
Lord, help me to live every moment in a way that sews the seed of your Good News. Shine through me with your great love that others may not just see it but feel it too.
