He also said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.” He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” (Mark 4;26-32, NRSV)
Have you ever wondered how that little seed planted in the soil forms into the vegetable you eat?
I mean sure there is the nutrients in the soil that work with the water and the sun to make the plant grow and produce the fruit of the seed, yet that doesn’t explain how it happens…
Farmers plant seeds, and then rest. They sleep and let nature take its course. Sure they do their work, and water and fertilize, but there are things they just have to trust and know they don’t know about the process.
That is how the kingdom of God is, as if someone scattered seed and then it just sprouted! That is you the seed scatterer and it sprouts with out your help!
You just spread the seed of the kingdom by living a kingdom life in this world that needs the influx of God, and by being who God created you to be, you are spreading the seed of the kingdom and allowing God to work in and through this place and this time!
So keep spreading His love and mercy by being His hands and feet in this world!
