~Mark 4.26-29 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
What a beautiful reminder of how dependent we are. We plant the seed; we may weed; we harvest. And that can be hard work. But that's all we can do. The actual growing is up to God as he has designed our amazing world. Yes, we can apply fertilizer and pesticide, but really, the growing is out of our hands. It's a miracle of life, pulsing through our world every second of every day.
