Ep. 63: Parables (Part 10-The Growing Seed)
Episode 63 The Parable of the Growing Seeds (Parable 10), Mark 4:26-29
Have you heard the English saying, “Man proposed, but God disposes”? It deals with the mystery that probably most of us struggle with from time to time: what in life can people actually make happen, and what are the limits that people face, beyond which only God or the supernatural can do? In this short tale, Jesus tells of a farmer who planted some seeds in the dirt, and even though he did not understand how, the seeds grew on their own and eventually produced a crop. This story deals with hard work, rest, trust, and patience.
Word of the Day: dispose (v.) to make willing or open to something.
Aunt Barbara is more disposed to read than to watch TV.
Question of the Day: Is there anything in life that you would like to do or see accomplished, but you believe it is humanly impossible? How might this parable relate to your situation?
