—Mark 4:21-32

It is amazing how a tiny seed can become a large tree. When I was young, I remember putting a pea grain in a plastic cup with newspaper and water and watching it until it started to germinate. Then I transplanted it into the dirt and watched it continue to grow. I also saw this same process with grains of corn planted and then having multiple ears of corn on the stalks. The Kingdom of God is compared to the small seed growing into something larger; or a small lamp giving light to a larger area. In comparison with the Kingdom, I still visualize planting, waiting, and then reaping the benefits. Are you in the planting, waiting, or reaping stage of kingdom building?
