The Amish Voice 11

Sow to yourselves in righteousness,

reap in mercy; break up your fallow

ground: for it is time to seek the

Lord, till he come and rain

righteousness upon you.

Hosea 10:12

In the parable

of the sower

and the seed

that Jesus told, the

seed is the word of God.

All of the seed sown was good. The

problem was the condition of the soil—

the heart. How is your heart? Is your heart

prepared to hear from God? Are you

seeking Him? Sow to yourselves in

righteousness, reap in mercy. Are you

seeking God in all that you do? Have you

turned from your sin? Do you trust in

Jesus? Break up your fallow ground.

Fallow ground is ground which has been

plowed but then has been left unplanted

for a season or more. It is land that is not

in use. It is inactive. It needs to be broken

up again and made soft before seed can

grow in it. Has the soil of your heart been

allowed to get in this condition? Did you

once seek God? Did you used to hunger

and thirst after Him? Does your heart now

lay inactive, having no time for the word

of God? Maybe you still go to church and

go through the religious rituals, but has

your relationship with Jesus grown cold?

Get rid of the weeds—the things in your

heart keeping you from fully seeking and

following God. Is it sin, rules, traditions,

or worldliness? Maybe it is pride or

busyness. Whatever it is, it is not worth

letting your heart grow hard. Break up the

fallow ground of your heart and get your

heart ready for God.

It is time to seek the

Lord. It matters

not how long

you

have

delayed. It is

time NOW to seek

the Lord. You do not

know how many years or days you might

have left on this earth. It is NOW time to

seek the Lord. How long should you seek

Him? Until He comes and rains

righteousness upon you! Do not stop

seeking God until He changes your heart.

Call out to God to work in your heart and

change you? Break up your fallow

ground. It is time to seek the Lord until

He comes and rains righteousness upon

you.

Prepare Your Heart!
