In this teaching Cody shares on how she has learned that keeping your "hands to the plow" is something completely different than mowing the lawn. When we picture ourselves mowing the grass, we are leveling the ground in front of us in order for it to be well-manicured and manageable. It’s really hard to stop comparing manicured lawns. But a plow does something very different. A plow pulls up the soil. It reaches deep into both manicured and maniacal grass and pulls it out at the root. Plowing looks a lot like destroying wherever growth was already there. Unplowed ground, to the untrained eye, always looks more pleasant. Perhaps there are things we’ve been doing and ways we’ve been being that God wants to uproot—not because they’re inherently wrong but because they’ve run their course. The season is over and the soil must be made ready for what’s next. You will be encouraged to keep your "hands to the plow". Enjoy listening.
