Breaking Hard Ground

Good morning Brothers, Happy Thursday. God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to thank God for waking you up this morning. Today, make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.(Hebrews 12:14). Let’s sing, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near; Join ye in glad adoration! Today’s verse is from Hosea 10:12. Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. Just as a farmer reaps far more than they sow, our God promises that we, too, will reap what we sow. Israel had sown seeds of sin and unrighteousness, causing the soil of their hearts to become unreceptive to God's commands. You, too, sow seeds, and these seeds represent your intentions, choices, and actions. Our hearts become like idle ground when we allow it to grow hard and stubborn-resisting God's Word and work in our lives. Don't wait! It is never too late to seek the Lord. Seek Him eagerly and expectantly. Turn your heart to the One who promises to shower His abundant mercy and grace upon you. Are you sowing seeds of righteousness and reaping the fruit of unfailing love? God loves you. Have a blessed day.
