The growth looks insignificant (thanks, George Ladd) and slow. But, if the farmer checks every other week, he/she will be encouraged and thank God for the approach of the harvest. God will cover the earth with His glory and part of His strategy includes us, the bearers of His image and glory, moving out into the world in witness.

The comments are timeless so it was good reading regardless. I too wish we could see our christian influence be as "waters cover the sea" but unfortunately, we rarely see this. Why is that? I fear that we suffer from the problem observed by the farmer whose crops sprung up quickly and were then choked out by weeds...We are so distracted by all the many things of the world, we tend to be influenced that way rather than being the salt and light that we were called to be. It is too bad and we should try to fight it. Sue Hello Pastor
