too serious

"All misery of this world comes from the fact that people take themselves too seriously."

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.
