The seed begins to grow. It grows night and day. It is not important if the man is sleeping or awake; the seed still grows. The man does not know how the seed grows.
You don’t know where the wind blows. And you don’t know how a baby grows in its mother’s body. In the same way, you don’t know what God will do—and he makes everything happen.
I also saw the many things that God does. And I saw that people can’t understand all the work that God does on earth. A person might try and try to understand, but he can’t. Even if a wise man says he understands the work God does, it is not true. No person can understand all those things.
We thank God for you always. And we should do that because that is right for us to do. It is right because your faith is growing more and more. And the love that every one of you has for each other is also growing.
