break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the LORD, that He may come and rain righteousness upon you. -Hosea 10:12
Don’t we consider FALLOW GROUND, as ground that are UNUSED and UNUSABLE ?
Don’t the Son of Man sow seed on the ground of our hearts?
Are the ground of our hearts unused ? Shouldn’t the ground be used for planting ? Or are the ground of our hearts READY to be planted with the word of the kingdom?
When ground are declared to be UNUSABLE? Do farmers only plow the ground, that is UNUSED ? or Do they also plow the UNUSABLE ground ? They do !
Why break up the ground? Why plowed ? Why tilled ? Is it not because the ground is HARDENED and filled with thorns and weeds ?
Are hearts hardened? Because of those who hurt, wrong, offend, scorn, humiliate, reject, abandon, sinned against us ?
Is it unbelief ? Because of unanswered prayers.
Or is it because the worries of this life, wealth and other pleasures ?
Are hearts hardened that it become insensitive to the needs of others ?
Can these hardened hearts be plowed or tilled ? Yes, they can be plowed or tilled.
Are the unused and unusable ground OFFERED to be plowed or tilled ? So, have we offered the grounds of hearts to be plowed by God ? So, have we OFFERED our hearts daily to God ?
Yes, we have ‘sin’, but we no longer want our hearts hardened by deceitfulness of sin. For we have confessed our sins, and our Lord who is faithful and just have shown us grace by forgiving our sins and cleanse our unrighteous thoughts. Yes, we have sinned , and we don’t make our Lord a liar, and that His word is in us. And we are clean because of His word, that is in us.
So we offer ourselves to His words of truth. Putting hope in His words— for with the Lord is steadfast love and plentiful redemption. When He redeem our iniquities ! We are no longer separated from God.
When He forgives our sins ! God don’t hide His face from us. He makes us alive by the Spirit of His words. When we live by His Spirit, we have His strength to put to death the practices of the body.
When we set our mind on the things of the Spirit! His Spirit strengthen our mind to make all thoughts captive to obey Christ.
Just as the fallow ground, that is unused and unusable, being OFFERED to be broken up, plowed and tilled by farmers.
So we OFFER the ground of our hearts to God.
Just as the fallow ground is CLEARED from thorns and weeds.
So the ground of our hearts is CLEARED from sins.
When we offer ourselves to God ! or when we submit ourselves to God !
The ground of our hearts will be plowed or tilled ! And ready for planting ! Ready to receive the word of the kingdom.
