Seeds Grow Silently

 

Year 8-Day 322: Today, I’m grateful seeds grow silently.

Remember the old country song, "Thunder's just the noise, boys; lightening does the work." I've always loved that song. 

Ponder this thought for a minute.

"A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with a huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence. Grow silently." 

You cannot hear a seed grow. Creation is quiet. There is power in silence. Truth? I think so. 

Noise gets noticed, but so many good things happen in silence. The squeaky wheel gets greased, but quiet, well-oiled gears get the job done. 

Seeds have always been a mystery to me. Something that seems so lifeless comes to life with sun, water and soil. My heart is filled with wonder and awe. 

"Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens. " -Mark 4:27

We don't have to understand how it all happens. We simply have to trust the one who designed the seeds to sprout and grow. The mystery is part of the majesty of God. Nature cannot help but sing His praises 

Celebrate the seeds of every season as silently they grow. 

Today, I’m grateful seeds grow silently.
