from my back porch

It is only 20 degrees but I couldn't help but sit outside and read for awhile this morning. I read this passage of scripture. Mark 4:26-29

²⁶He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.²⁷Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. ²⁸All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. ²⁹As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."

It reminded me that God is working in my life and your life even when we didn't see it, even when we didn't understand it. A seed has been planted within us, and it will grow, until the day of harvest. It also reminded me to continue watering, and cultivating the soil. Without that water and fertile soil, the miracle of growth is severely stunted. Thats just a reminder for me to continue seeking God, in prayer and in his word and surrounding myself with people of glad and sincere hearts.

Now for my coffee...keep seeking the Kingdom!
