Not much to look at

Listen to this daily worship
Luke 13: 18-19 (NIV)
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”
Och, it’s not much to look at — a mustard seed is smaller than a crumb from your morning bacon roll. But give it a bit of time, and it grows into a tree bigger than your Uncle Rab’s stories at Hogmanay.
It’s like God saying, “Don’t judge by size, even the wee things can turn mighty.” Sometimes we can feel like a wee seed in a big field, but I think it’s important to remember: you might be the start of something amazing. So many times I have witnessed people stepping out, trusting in God and achieving so much.
God can do so much with so little.
Prayer:
Lord of Heaven,
You plant your Kingdom in the smallest of things—
a mustard seed, just a speck, yet bursting with promise.
Help me trust that even my tiny acts of kindness,
my quiet prayers, my fumbling faith, can grow into something wonderful.
When I feel too small, remind me: You don’t need giants, just willing hearts.
Let your Spirit water the seed in me, so I may grow strong,
shelter others, and be a place where hope can perch like a bird.
Amen.
