Plant Good Seeds

  "Break up for yourselves a new field." Hosea 10:12

A plow is an implement used in a field to cut in, break up soil and cut furrows into the ground in preparation for sowing. The upper layer of soil is turned over and a fresh fertile layer full of nutrients is brought to the top. 

 A farmer does this several times and we too should take time to till the soil of our hearts now and again so that new seeds can be planted. It's not good to allow weeds to grow, and the soil to harden. Plowing breaks up the weed roots and disrupts the weeds from growing. We know how fast weeds can grow! 

Lord, may I never be complacent and allow weeds of discontent, envy, or unforgiveness to take root. May my heart be ever fresh, ever new for You to plant good seeds in it!
