Reflection
It is true that we will reap whatever we sow – Galatians 6:7, because as long as the earth remains seed time and harvest will never cease – Genesis 8:22.
Therefore, we’ve been admonished to sow righteousness in order to harvest the unfailing love of God.
When we plow the soil of our hearts to seek after God, He will rain down righteousness upon us like the flood. The testimonies that follows when He rain down His love and righteousness are surely ear tingling, and mouth watering.
Prayer
Dear Lord,
Uproot every seed and weed of unrighteousness from my heart, as I plow the soil of my heart for righteousness.
