Plowing

The struggle, the push, the pull, the tug
Wanting to break through
The soil of a stubborn heart
But all these rocks, big and small
Are standing in the way
Lord, I just don’t know what to do!
But You said You’d do Your part
To bring about Your Master Plan
To work inside this precious heart
In the mist I can barely see
But I know You are right beside me
Teaching and training me
As Your Word reveals instructions
On how to do my part
To patiently and daily loosen the soil
And plant the seeds of Gospel Truth
So that this heart and many more
Can someday rise out of the ground
Seedlings once hidden in the dark
No longer choked by worldly cares
Sprouting up and reaching out
As they unfurl and give of self
Bringing glory to Your Name

(See: Isaiah 55; Matthew 13:1-43; Mark 4:1-20, 26-32;
John 4:34-38; 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15)
