Mind gets disturbed, and perplexed,
while seeing to, the horrific news going around the world. News, of America v/s
Iran, bushfire in Australia, CAA in India, volcanic eruptions in Philippines,
which are a few in the list. Few days back, same scripture for 2 consecutive
days used to strike my attention, while reading thru it I had a doubt, a small mustard seed, a shrub,
how come it will become a tree, later on going to the depth it was written
mustard is a bush, a herb looking on to a herb plant in my garden, I wondered
as; to such a small seed growing to as a small herb plant, how can the birds
rest in its branches.
I think, everyone knows about a
mustard seed. A, very common ingredient in the kitchen shelf. If you look into
it, though a tiny thing but it's so compact, round which, cannot be broken
easily. Even though, it is so tiny, that if it falls from our hands, its
difficult to search. It grows, into a
plant somewhat up to 10 feet high or more, in articles. Yet, there is growth in
this seed. It, becomes big with stem but not the woody and hard stem, soft but,
has flowers and seeds. In bible it's written, "the birds of the air"
will perch on its branches and can even build a nest..Matt 13: 32 "Which indeed is the least of all the seeds:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree so
that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches therof."
God, uses the smallest thing to accomplish
great things. He used a rod or stick in hands of Moses, a sling
and few stones in the hands of David, a red rope in the hands of Rahab, Samson
had a jawbone, Mary had ointment, a young boy had 2 fish and 5 loaves in the
hands. These all tell us about the size of things and person, Don't be discouraged with the size, just see the hand that is behind them. You,
may think that you are of no use, you don't have a role to perform, but; you
are indeed important to God. The impact of the thing which God does is great.
Though it was just plain water in the jars filled by the servants in Cana of
Galilee, and simple 5 loaves and 2 fish brought by a young boy, but; see how
Jesus, changed, or rather transformed
them into; wine and feed for 5000 people.
He loves to use; small and weak
things, the disciples He, called for the ministry, were fisherman and tax
collector. He, inhabits a tiny seed and empowers it, and accomplishes His will
on earth, like that, mustard seed. So, don't think you can't do anything for
Him. Whatever, you are called for, do it sincerely and, leave it in His hands.
People may not value you, but you are great in the eyes of our Lord. It is good,
to share your faith with others. You and me, are a part to Kingdom of God. Just
obey Him and let the truth be revealed, God will speak. As, there is no much
time to waste. Rev 3:11 "Behold,
I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown." The kingdom of God is at hand, and God wants us to wake up. We
have the power. Be in the hands of God and see how God, uses small seeds into sheltering trees.
Friends, I am just writing a blog post for your
knowledge to move one step forward to attain the kingdom of God. Trust and obey
Him. Leave the result in God's hand. He is in control. Please do leave a
comment and try to share with others also. God bless you.
Thanks
Ann
