Unplowed

“Sow for yourselves righteousness’
Reap the fruit of unfailing love,
And break up the unplowed ground;
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Until he comes and showers righteousness on you.”
Hosea 10:12 (NIV)

Unplowed ground is a picture of the lifelessness that comes from being hardened in our ways.

Humility keeps us soft enough for God’s seeds of change to take root in our lives.
