Sow to yourselves in righteousness

Verse: Hosea 10:12
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.

Meditation:
Every day is a new opportunity offered to you: a chance to grow or regress, to bless or curse, to laugh or cry. Everything depends on how you manage the 24 hours given to you. God (Elohim) created everything in six days and rested on the seventh. His days also had 24 hours, just like yours, as the Bible says, “There was evening, and there was morning” (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31).

Since creation, we have a divine example of orderly planning and rejecting laziness. This model encourages us to use our time best and accomplish lasting work.

What do you do with your time?
In Hosea 10:12, we are urged to sow righteousness to reap mercy and to seek the Lord until He comes. This verse calls us to manage our lives wisely: to control our words, actions, and associations. Everything we sow today, we will reap tomorrow. It also reminds us to cultivate patience, a key virtue for seeing the fruits of our labor.

Some ways to break up your unplowed ground:

1. Adopt new habits: Spend more time in prayer (Ephesians 6:18-20).
2. Spread righteousness: Show justice and truth in your relationships (Hosea 10:12).
3. Be sincere: Let your speech always be full of grace (Colossians 4:6).
4. Work diligently: Keep learning and reject idleness (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
5. Set goals: Move forward with clarity and determination to fulfill God’s plans for your life.

Break up new ground in every area of your life! Be careful to sow seeds of righteousness, truth, and love daily. This will allow you to reap blessings with joy and satisfaction in every facet of your life.
