Seeds just grow

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."

The Kingdom of God is like a planted seed that grows. I live in beautiful Santa Clara County, where farming used to be a good size industry. Although we spent many nights trying to stir up some "action", one could say that after 2100 hours things were quiet except for a few cars passing by, and the all familiar sound of farmers trying to coax seeds to grow. Breaking through the silence, one could hear, "come on you can do it, please grow, I will be sure to pull weeds tomorrow if you could just grow a little bit now." We will never plant another seed in you if you don't hurry and grow. a tractor comes by spreading chemicals to support the growth.

The truth is we don't have to coax, plead with, or beg seeds to grow. Seeds grow because that is what they do. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. Plant seeds of the Kingdom and it will grow.
