"UNPLOWED GROUND"

<sup>"UNPLOWED GROUND"

HOSEA 10


12</sup> 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.

Dear precious believer; We find ourselves at the half way mark, of this new year. Yes, it is time to survey our resolutions(dedication Rom 12:1,2),... holidays, celebrations and missions have all but commanded our attention. Yet, still  the Holy Spirit remembers the words uttered by us in the dawn of this year. So he turns on the spiritual MRI,  CAT scan and X-ray. He searches the inner man and becomes the internal witness to the  Father, and His Son. What will be His report on you, on me ?  Will He report an  advance or retreat in you ?

Let this writer suggest not a cry of his own , but one of the prophet Hosea. For this verse has been written on the walls, and mirrors, door posts and placed ever where the Holy Spirit chose to romance me back to the dawn of my dedication to the Father, and to the Son. In order to give  Him continuous access to "unplowed ground!"


 "Break up your unplowed ground;
 for it is time to seek the Lord"

Notice you are asked to break up unplowed ground?  Why?  because no one knows, as you do the place the Holy Spirit is working in you.

the reason ?  "it  is time to seek the lord".  May the following verse give you new footing, to the path you chose  in dedication at the dawn of this new year. Amen.

Psalm 139 
 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 

 

Psalm 139 
God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too— your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful— I can’t take it all in! ...
Psalm 139
[ God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man ]  O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. ...
