What an insightful thought!
Sometimes we have to get below the surface to find the real cause
(root of bitterness, anger, etc.) of the problem. I believe Someone has
been digging and pruning around the trees in His vineyard. Sis. Nona
Freeman said she studied what "fallow ground" meant and she found it
meant, plowed ground, but not yet planted. I found two verses relating
to fallow ground.
Jeremiah 4:3, and
Hosea 10:12. Jeremiah seems to say
that we need to break up our fallow ground and get the thorns out before
we sow, as the thorns can hinder the groweth of the good seed. In the
parable of the sower, in Matt.13:7, some seed fell among thorns and the
thorns sprang up, and choked them. Why does it seem the weeds and
the thorns grow faster than the plants intended for harvest! Jeremiah
tells us to break up the fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. Hosea
tells us to 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. I believe this is a picture of repentance and then
getting the seed (Word of God) firmly planted in our hearts, and when
the seed bed of our hearts is prepared, there will come up a crop of good
"grain". Good for food and some good for re-planting (seed-grain). You will
need kernels matured like the ones planted in the ground, in order for there
to be another crop. Seed grain. Mature grain (seed). The crop (people)
in the earth today are what was planted in their lineage (seed) yesteryear.
Someone is watchng and following me. What I am (not what I think I am)
or what someone thinks I am, but what I really am, the harvest of those who
will follow me, will reveal what kind of a tree I really was. I pray God will
reveal the thorns so that they can be removed, and not overgrow the good
seed that has been planted through the years of my life. If the thorns are
allowed to crowd out the good seed, what will I have to show when the
Lord calls for an accountability of what my life has yielded or not yielded!
My, where did all that come from. It came from my heart. I just did not
know it was there. Jesus on the inside, working on outside, O what a
change in my life!! Lord, please keep working deep inside and if there be
any wicked way in me, I pray You will reveal it so I can remove it. I must
be willing to remove it and give it to You!! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your
abundant mercy and grace to us who are becoming Your sons and daughters.
Formed into Your image!! It will be revealed if we really are Your sons and
daughters, because when You have finished with us, we will look just like
our FATHER!!! After all, we came from your "seed", The Word of God!!!JESUS!!
He was that "seed" promised to Abraham that in his seed all the nations of
the earth would be blessed. That "Seed" is still producing after His kind!
Blessings,
