Bible Question:
Dear TerryM, Good answer! Do you think that this verse and it's context might give us insight on how to break up this 'fallow ground' in a practical sense? Maybe there are some supporting verses? In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Let us compare Scripture with Scripture, shall we? I offer this information to aid in answering your question. Jeremiah 4:3 "'Break up...' Jeremiah appealed for a spiritual turnabout from sinful, wasteful lives. He pictured this as the plowing of ground, formerly hard and unproductive due to weeds, in order to make it useful for sowing (compare Matt 13:18-23)" (p. 1067, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |
