Sow for yourselves righteousness;
reap steadfast love;
break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.

- What does spiritual fallow ground look like?
- How do you recognize ground like this?
- How do you break up fallow ground?
- How does seeking the Lord relate to this plowing, sowing and reaping?
- Where does the righteousness come from?
The soybean field across the street from my house did not just happen. Last year it was filled with corn stalks. After that harvest the field just lay there empty until spring when the tractor came with a big cultivator to break up the soil to get ready for this year's planting. The farmer intentionally planted soybeans. He did not just plow and wait for something to come up. If he had, the weed crop would have been impressive. We have to sow righteousness like it is a crop with all the work involved with preparing, sowing, and nurturing. God will provide the righteousnss and steadfast love. What crop are you cultivating today?
