June 16, 2024. Divine Service. 8 A.M. | Mark 4:26-34 | The Parable of the Seed Growing

“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” We don’t rely on what we see or what we know or how we might improve on and do better than God! We simply rely on the promises of God. 

It’s His seed, His Word, His gifts, His kingdom, His plants, His children, His harvest, His work. He has shown and proved across the centuries and the millennia, He will make it grow and flourish. Sometimes in spite of us. Sometimes after we’ve messed it up pretty bad. Sometimes when we least expect it. Sometimes how we least expect it and sometimes where we least expect it.
