Dependent on the type of seed, it will take up to 7-10 days or longer for the seed to germinate and break the surface. An oak tree won’t come to full maturity for 15-20 years! So how does this apply to our life in Jesus? As we look at the Parable of the Seed Growing and Mustard Seed, we have to ask ourself, “Am I trusting God in the waiting?” More often than not, God will not answer us right away. So we need to maintain our trust and faith in His promises. But we also can not just sit back and wait either. What we do in the waiting is of utmost importance.
