Luke 13
This is an interesting image that Jesus used in comparing the Kingdom of God to a mustard see. The Kingdom of God is wherever God reigns. When we submit our lives to God and live as God wants us to live, the Kingdom of God is present in that moment. A mustard seed is a tiny seed which grows into a significant tree. In comparing the mustard seed to the Kingdom of God one idea is that the seemingly insignificant acts that you do in obedience to God can be used by God to do great things.

As a child, I remember reading about the story of having as much faith as a grain of mustard seed. (I even had a bracelet that had a charm with a grain of mustard seed.) This passage in Luke - and Ken's interpretation - are most "revealing!" Even though my faith and acts may not be as great as I want (or God wants), magnificent things can happen by God's most amazing grace. I was reminded by a pastor this week to "be faithful and obedient in all you do and God will take care of the rest."
