One Tiny Seed

Paul understood that the bounty of the Gospel was not of his efforts alone: “I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Cor 3:6). With every Gospel morsel we sow, God sends a waterer; no one has bragging rights of a soul’s salvation. The seed and ready heart to receive the Word is God’s; the water is His; the laborer is His—the earth is the Lord’s and everyone, everything in it belongs to Him (Ps 24:1). 

Only God can multiply a pinhead size seed into a bountiful harvest in a garden or the heart of man, and He alone deserves the glory for the fruit.
