Sowing the Seed 4

Jeremiah 4:3-4 (Amplified Bible)

3For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Break up your ground left uncultivated for a season, so that you may not sow among thorns.

Hosea 14:4-9 (New International Version)

 4 "I will heal their waywardness 
       and love them freely, 
       for my anger has turned away from them.

 5 I will be like the dew to Israel; 
       he will blossom like a lily. 
       Like a cedar of Lebanon 
       he will send down his roots;

 6 his young shoots will grow. 
       His splendor will be like an olive tree, 
       his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

 7 Men will dwell again in his shade. 
       He will flourish like the grain. 
       He will blossom like a vine, 
       and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.

 8 O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? 
       I will answer him and care for him. 
       I am like a green pine tree; 
       your fruitfulness comes from me."

 9 Who is wise? He will realize these things. 
       Who is discerning? He will understand them. 
       The ways of the LORD are right; 
       the righteous walk in them, 
       but the rebellious stumble in them.

Isaiah 61:11 (New International Version)

 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up 
       and a garden causes seeds to grow, 
       so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise 
       spring up before all nations.

God is so faithful to fulfill our needs according to his riches and glory. I'm so thankful God loves me and wants to bless me. 

Right now, I feel the need to replow the field. I want to make sure every area of my life is ready according to God's will. I'm praying God will show me the areas of my life he wants me to focus on right now. Maybe I need to improve my life in some ways, but maybe I just need to relax in others. Overall, I just want to focus on God and make sure my relationship with God is right where it needs to be at this time. Again, "While I'm Waiting" is an awesome song that I posted a few weeks ago. 

Growing up, I loved the song "Spring Up, O Well." It's a great song, and it makes me smile!

This is a cute version of that song.
