Been Chiselin’

There is no doubt that our nation is on a downward spiral that is out of control.  If we do not get back to the principles that America was founded upon we are going to cease to exist.  It angers me and breaks my heart to watch daily as we simply implode and it seems as if nobody really cares about it.

What can the small minority do?  We have to look to the Word of God for our answers. Look at Hosea 10:12, “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.”

The phrase “break up your fallow ground for it is time to seek the LORD;” caught my attention.  Fallow ground in this instance is ground that has been freshly plowed.  This makes shiny furrows in the dirt.  It also just turns the ground over.  So, you have this rich, black dirt laying there all clumped together.  This is where the principle of this verse comes in.

We are exhorted to break up this ground so that it is prepared to receive good seed as in the parable of the sower.  Our hearts need to be softened and prepared when we hear God’s Word so that we can received it and obey it.  America needs this desperately!

So, how are you doing?
