Seeds Sprout…

Mark 4:26-28

Mark 4:26-28“The Kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows. He does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain.”

“First the stalk.
“Second the head.
“Third the full kernel in the head.
“Finally, when ripe, he puts the sickle to it. The harvest has come.” – Mark 4:26-28

Lord, tonight while I sleep I ask that you bless our seed. 

 

The calling of a New Testament worker is to expose sin and to reveal Jesus Christ as Savior. Consequently, he cannot always be charming and friendly, ~ Oswald Chambers

We must also be sharply intent on sensing those Scripture passages that will drive the truth home, and then not be afraid to apply them. ~ Oswald Chambers

God calls us to His service and places tremendous responsibilities on us. He expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son. – Oswald Chambers

If we will just learn to worship God even during the difficult circumstances, He will change them for the better very quickly if He so chooses.- Oswald Chambers

The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us.- Oswald Chambers

We treat God as if He were a machine designed only to bless us, and we think of Jesus as just another one of the workers.- Oswald Chambers
