Isaiah 55:10-11
“ The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

Mark 4:26-32
Jesus also said,“ The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground.Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens.The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens.And as soon as the grain is ready, the farmer comes and harvests it with a sickle, for the harvest time has come.”Jesus said,“ How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds,but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade.”
