Psalm: 34

Meditation

Mark: It sounds like Jesus is talking about honesty and accountability in verses 21-25. All shall be revealed and that being loving (“with the measure you use…” v. 24) to one’s neighbor is its own reward. Then the miracle of growth after seed is sown followed. It is a mystery how that happens and lastly, Jesus talks of the mustard seed, though the smallest seed yet yields the largest tree. Many years later Paul would grapple with the same issue: trying to describe the indescribable in 2 Corinthians 12:1-6 and 1 Corinthians 2:9
