Mark 4:26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

We can rest in the fact that some things always work. This morning I awoke to another sunrise, just like yesterday, and everyday of my life. The sun has always risen, whether or not I saw it. 

The kingdom of God is like a sunrise and more! God's “kingdom” (The King's domain), always produces for you, IF you “seed” it. All of our spiritual disciplines like prayer, serving, giving, and worshipping are forms of sowing seed––activities related to our covenant with God empowered by grace.

Jesus said, “The earth yields crops by itself” in explaining how the kingdom of God works. It has power and capacity in itself. He explained, “The kingdom of God is is if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.”

Understanding is overrated. Following kingdom principles is underrated.

REFLECTION QUESTION:
In what ways are you seeding the kingdom of God, so it can produce for you?
