Mark 4:26-29 (NIV) 26 He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is

like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 7 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by

itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as

the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."
