“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.” - Hosea 10:12

Much of the world is dealing with the greatest disruption of their lives… probably in their lifetimes, particularly in the West, and what is known as the "First World".

Here's a helpful perspective toward understanding what is taking place.

Imagine for a moment that your life is a farm… a plot of land set aside to produce a crop.

The Farmer knows what He needs to do to prepare an abundant harvest.

Your soil is fallow, hardened, full of weeds.

The seeds are dry and must absorb water to initiate respiration and begin to digest their stored food, and respiration requires sufficient oxygen in soil that is moist and broken up.

Your field must be turned over and plowed.

Plowing seems to do violence to soil in its fallow state.

Yet nothing will grow or can even be planted in hard unplowed soil.

The plow turns the soil upside down and inside out, looks like a disaster zone, as thousands of weeds and chunks of earth fly apart.

Insects in the soil endure an apocalyptic experience, and some of them are killed by the metal blades and crashing mounds of earth.

The farmer is simply doing his job, what he must do to prepare an abundant harvest.

Now that the Farmer is preparing His field, and the mounds of earth and weeds are flying everywhere, step back if you can and observe what is taking place.

The world is His field, not ours and His crop is righteousness and steadfast love in a fruitful crop of human souls.

Fallow ground full of weeds will not do for a good harvest.

Take the Farmer's perspective, endure the plow, and you will rejoice with him in the harvest to follow.
