“What is the kingdom of God like? And to what should I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches…It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.” -Luke 13:18-21
It is said that you are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with. Our lives are the summation of the routines and rituals of our daily lives. There is much sacred to be found in the ordinary. Small acts done with great love can change everything.
The kingdom of God is best described by small, ordinary things that over time bring significant change and transformation. As you move through your day, notice small things with big impact. Reflect on interactions and experiences in your own life, where something seemingly small has bought transformation.
God, thank you for the miracle of small things. When I am discouraged and hopeless, remind me of the power of growth and fermentation. May I not diminish these gifts in my midst. Amen.
