\u201c<\/span>if riches increase, set not your heart on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hosea 10:11Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. You have plowed iniquity; you have reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your warriors, therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,<\/p>\n

Proverbs 1:31<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.<\/p>\n

Psalms 52:7<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSee the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!\u201d<\/p>\n

Galatians 6:7-8<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.\u00a0\u00a0For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 31:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD!<\/p>\n

Isaiah 55:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSeek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;<\/p>\n

Luke 13:24<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cStrive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 29:12-14<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.\u00a0\u00a0You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.\u00a0\u00a0I will be found by you, declares the LORD,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When it comes to full commitment to God, fallow (unsown; unused, dormant, resting, empty, bare, stagnant; barren, unproductive) ground has no place in our heart and mind.\u00a0 <\/span>Yet, it seems the place where most comfort is found and why so many lack God\u2019s power, strength, peace and rest for their lives.\u00a0 <\/span>Life is easy when we can do what seems best in our own eyes.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

When we void ourselves of God\u2019s word and it’s affect on and in our life, how is faith to grow, how can true kindness be displayed, how is generosity glorifying to God, how is God’s love understood, how is sin made known, how is the need for forgiveness and salvation understood, how is the need for repentance seen, how is God praised, how are eyes able to see His might and awesome work, how are spiritual gifts used, how are others to hear, how is Christ proclaimed, how is the love of God proclaimed, how is worship meaningful, how are we to hear His whispers of guidance????????<\/p>\n

Keep the word of God in your daily routine.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep prayer and communication with God active.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep your ears open to His leading, correction, and promises.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep you eyes on His active working in the world around you.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep nurturing and growing your faith.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep the light of Christ\u2019s love ever shinning.<\/p>\n

There is no time to wait for another day to start being intentionally committed to His word every day.\u00a0 <\/span>Humbly serve, honor, glorify, praise, worship, follow and obey Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
