“Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.”
The above profound statement was made by the English author David Icke, and its lesson is in line with a parable Jesus told about the mustard seed.
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches” (Matthew 13:31-32).
This exemplifies something that starts as small and significant but, with time, becomes so grand and impactful that it can hardly be unnoticed.
Sometimes, all it takes for great things to happen is just patience. No extra efforts, no change of formula, no extra stress, no additional requirements. Just wait!
But waiting is not as simple as it sounds. It takes faith and resilience to wait. It even takes courage, especially when waiting means enduring danger and humiliation.
Your life is like a mustard seed. With patience, you will become a mighty tree.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
Remain inspired!
