‘Take this child away and nurse him for me.’
--Exodus 2:9
How small is the seed! And what faith has to be shown in its sowing! Yet such is God’s working that the tiny seed first throws up tender shoots, then digs roots deep into the soil and produces branches and leaves, till the tree can be seen in all its glory, standing tall and strong and firm.
