THE QUIET WORK OF GOD

The Quiet Work of God Scripture: Mark 4:26-29 “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.” There are seasons in life when it seems like nothing is happening. We pray, we read God’s Word, we try to remain faithful, yet we don’t see much change. We wonder if our prayers are making a difference or if the seeds we’ve planted are growing at all. Jesus used the simple picture of a farmer to remind us of an important spiritual truth. The farmer plants the seed, but he cannot make it grow. Day after day he goes about his work. He sleeps, he rises, and while he cannot see beneath the surface of the soil, something remarkable is taking place. God is quietly doing what only God can do. Our spiritual lives often work the same way.
