A NEW Year Diet

Sow for yourselves righteousness;reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you. (Hosea 10:12)

Like in the prophet's days, we too must change our daily activities, especially what we take in. We need to return to a diet off prayer, repentance, fasting, and reformation. We need to MAKE time for God as we do work, family, and daily exercise. Breaking up "fallow" ground will require acknowledging the things that are choking out our relationship with God. We must put to practice the disciplines of prayer, devotion, fasting, study, etc. We have to weed out the things keeping us from our primary relationship which is with God. Just as we plan a daily diet and exercise routine, even getting up early or staying up late to be prepared, we must do the same concerning our time with God. Are we planning our private study and worship? Are we preparing to fast? Are we exercising our faith by works of kindness and generosity! In all our planning, we must make a plan to seek God and what He wants for you and me. Without a plan, we plan to fail. We cannot afford to fail God!
