Scripture:
Hosea 10:12 "Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you".
Observation:
God is speaking through Hosea at this point and telling his people they need to sow righteousness and reap kindness. He tells them to break up their ground and see God until He comes and rains righteousness on them. It seems here that righteousness is both something we do and something that comes to us.
Application:
We are righteous because of the blood of Christ, who is our righteousness. Yet, we need to sow into righteousness. We need to plant some righteous seeds until Christ rains it down on us. It is also on us to break up our hard, fallow ground. We must prepare ourselves to live righteously by seeking God and pursuing Him. We are righteous through Christ, but we still need to seek God and He will lead us into right living.
Prayer:
Lord, break up my fallow ground. During this fasting time, take away everything that is not right and replace it with more of You. Fill me with Your Spirit and Your righteousness. Let me walk with You at a deeper level. Help me to sow righteousness today.
Yours,
Jeff
