Evening: Psalm 34; Matthew 13:24-34a
As
if once were enough, people say, “I tried it once but it didn’t work.”
Inhuman notions of success drive our culture. We expect rapid,
unnatural growth in everything. If what you initiate isn’t bearing fruit
by next week, it’s ‘forget it’. Or when a problem surfaces, ‘try
something else, right?’ Jesus parables, though, speak of slow, natural
growth. Seedlings have to compete with weeds but they’ll be alright
come harvest. Trust in tiny mustard seeds; plant something small -
watch amazing things happen. Taste how yeast leavens dough. Good
things may begin small and grow slowly. Keep planting. Persevere.
