Does God really need us?

the seed sprouts and grows—he doesn’t know how. 28 The soil produces a crop by itself—

Mark 4:27-28 (HCSB)

It is true God really doesn't need us but He does desire to use us. As Jesus taught the farmer plants but once the seed is in the ground it grows all by itself. It is not the farmers job to make the seed grow. Actually that is God's job.

If we are going to serve Him we must remember our job is obedience. God takes care of the growth.
