If you were able to read through Numbers 7 (89 verses!), you would be able to recognize the importance of making offerings to the Lord. It is important that we regularly tithe to keep the Lord's work up. In Numbers 8, we understand that the Levites were set apart to do God's work and that they were given to Aaron and his sons as "gifts" (v. 19) to accomplish the work at the Tent of Meeting. Do we see people that God sends our way to help us accomplish our daily tasks as "gifts" from God?
Mark 4:30-32 is an example of a similitude (contains an expanded simile, in this case "like"). Verse 31 says the kingdom of God is "like" a mustard seed. The kingdom has arrived and although it might seem small or insignificant now, it will grow into something amazing. Therefore, do not look for something glorious now or you will miss it!
