No Pain, No Gain

Break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord. The unplowed ground is where we must allow the storms of life to shape and mold us into God’s masterpiece. It will break up the undisturbed area of your life where the word of God has not been allowed to express itself in your everyday life. As we become more mature in the things of God, we sow seeds of righteousness for ourselves so we can reap the fruit of unfailing love. It is time to break up that unplowed, undisturbed area of our life, and leave our comfort zone to seek the Lord. Sowing seeds of right standing with the Lord is like sowing seeds of love. To be in right standing with God is to know His love. Without the storms in our lives there’s no way to develop long term stability. We must stand and trust God through the storm not save us from it (John 17:15). He will walk us through it so we can be all we’re supposed to be in life. No pain, no gain in this area of life as well.
