Luke 13:18-21 New International Version (NIV) The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast. (V 18) Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? V.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.” It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.” Many times small acts of faith can have a huge effect on someone’s life. • Actively listening to someone feeling the chill of life. • Taking a meal to someone who is sick or in grief. • Saying please and thank you to those serving you. All these things seem small, but they all can have a powerful effect on the person receiving them and may just be the thing that helps their seed of faith grow into a spiritual tree. Go into this day with the mission of doing small acts of the Kingdom. The scriptures promise that their impact will be huge. Gracious Father, make us stewards of your grace this day. Lead us by your Holy Spirit so that the world may experience a glimpse of your Kingdom through our words and actions. Amen
