"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
I like the ideas here... basically that we need to plant righteousness and mercy within ourselves. Yes, perhaps we needed to let our ground lie fallow for a time to renew ourselves and be ready to plant again, but NOW is the time to get back in the game, to prepare our fields for the rains and a great growth of goodness. :)
The main challenge here, perhaps, is that we have a tendency to think that we need to lie fallow just a bit longer; no matter how ready we are for the next thing, sometimes is scares us. Today, let's remember that it is already time. Let's proceed to seek the Lord. We might not feel it at first, but without the Lord we are always in drought. We need his rain, and his presence in our lives, more than we have ever needed anything else.
