The seed sprouts and grow; he knows not how.

Mark 4:26-27, And he said, “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.”

We know a little of the miracle of new life springing from a seed, but we don’t have to know everything about it to make it work! We are asked to plant the seed of the gospel, and how it sprouts and grows we know not. We simply plant a seed, and God brings forth new life and ultimately a harvest!

Give us opportunities to sow the seed of your kingdom today, Lord!
