Like those first disciples, we are also prone to fear when we forget who Jesus is, His ways, His power, and His concern for us.

Through this parable, Jesus promises that God WILL grow His Kingdom. It may be difficult to see with our natural eyes, but we trust that it WILL happen according to His plan and timing.

Are your ears open to hear what Jesus is saying?

God's commands are a gateway to His heart. We are given the opportunity to see Him in His Laws.
