Hosea 10:12-13
"Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up the fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain righteousness upon you. You have plowed iniquity; you have reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your warriors."
It is time to seek the Lord! God's people had been willful and sinful. They had plowed evil, and for their labors, reaped injustice. With their diet based on lies, they had trusted in themselves, exactly what they wanted for personal gratification. But now they must sow for righteousness and reap steadfast love. What a different harvest! When righteousness and seeking God are the focus then steadfast love floods the life. What a difference in the life when God is honored and glorified!
Father,
Keep my heart tender and broken up so that I will seek You and Your righteousness. Let Your steadfast love fill and control my life.
In Jesus name,
Amen
