Today’s Scripture: And he said, "The
kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground, 27 and should sleep and rise
night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how. 28 The earth produces of
itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is
ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come." Mark 4:26-29
Reflection: Life’s mysteries are a wonderful contemplation.
Imagine the mystery of the grain that is ripe, it first has to sprout, and then
it has to grow and so on and so forth.
Similarly, life has many mysteries which have to go through the various
phases and processes. We can prudently observe and reflect and contemplate. Yet
all this is not enough in keeping with our eternity.
We
have to reflect on the kingdom mysteries
too, with its phases and processes, which works in similar fashion as
life’s mysteries and yet not the same. It works in everyone who believes but if
one is not aware then like a good farmer one may not know when the grain is
ripe and when to use the sickle. Worse
still, one may not know how to cooperate and participate in the work of the
Kingdom dynamism.
Therefore,
it is essential to reflect on God’s word on a daily and regular basis and sit
at the feet of the master so as to constantly learn, let go and surrender.
Prayer: Lord, may I ponder on your word day and night
so that your silent power is manifest in and through my life.
