Today's Verse: Mark 4:26-29 (NIV) - The Parable of the Growing Seed:
26 Jesus also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
This is but one parable that Jesus spoke abut the Kingdom of God. Like the farmer who sows seeds, God sows his Word to all the world. Only in those who truly accept God's Word, will fruit be produced . And, in God's time, that fruit will result in a bountiful harvest.
Today's Comments: While God sows the Word to all the world, it only flourishes in soil that is properly prepared. Only through learning about God in scripture, being obedient to His commandments and seeking him out can we properly prepare to receive His grace. Like we add fertilizer to enhance the harvest of our crops, we need the Holy Spirit to dwell in us so that we may properly grow our spiritual selves in preparation for the Lord's harvest.
