Day 1: Lower the Blades



" For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns." (Jeremiah 4:3)


The blades cut deep into the earth. Again and again, they cross the field tearing into the hardened, weed filled ground until the furrows are finally formed. It's tough work, but it always precedes planting, and it ensures the harvest. If we plant in weed laden fields, no matter how good the seed, the result will always be the same: fruitlessness. Let the spirit plow your heart until He breaks every clog and removes every weed; until you are prepared for the holy seed.


In prayer, ask the Lord of the harvest to plow your heart, to remove the obstacles, and prepare you for His planting. Tell Him you are willing. Thank Him for His grace and mercy.


Consider:
Jeremiah 23:29; Hosea 10:12; Hebrews 4:12; James 1:21; 1 Peter 1:23
