Judging by appearances, it's easy to conclude that God is either inactive or absent in our world. That's no surprise considering he removed his visible presence from our world long ago. Thankfully, we don't have to trust our eyes to know where God is and what he is up to in our world. God is still at work, especially when it looks like he isn't. Today we see how God does his strong and effective work through what appears to be small. Jesus frequently compared God’s Word to a seed. Though a seed is small it contains incredible power to grow. The growth it creates provides blessing to all. In the same way, God’s Word doesn’t look big or impressive. However, that seed has always and will continue to bear abundant fruit in our world and in our lives.
