ARE YOU PLANTING THE RIGHT SEED?

Some time ago "Reader’s Digest" told the story about a company who mailed out some special advertising business post cards with a mustard seed glued to it with the following caption that went something like this: "If you have faith as small as this mustard seed in our (product), you are guaranteed to get excellent results and be totally satisfied." -- Signed, The Management

A few months later one recipient of this promotional piece wrote back to the company and said, "You will be very interested to know that I planted the mustard seed you sent on your advertising card and it has grown into a very healthy bush producing wonderful tomatoes!"

(Sometimes we grow things we didn’t expect, because we plant that wrong seeds)

(From a sermon by Terry Blankenship, Kingdom Building God’s Way, 5/16/2011)
