Daily Manna from the 'Net - Tuesday, February

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.' Again he said, 'What shall we say the kingdom of
God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a
mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when
planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such
big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.' Mark 4:26-32
NIV

So He is saying the Kingdom of God grows just as a seed in the ground grows. It grows without us working to make it grow. God builds his Kingdom in his own secret way ... What do we do ...? What do we have to be ...?
