Break up the Fallow Soil


Hosea 10:12 talks about breaking up the fallow soil. This is the kind of soil that was once useful for planting and farming but has now grown hard and unusable. It needs to be broken up; plowed in order to be useful again. I have begun to feel like this in my soul. My prayer for now is that God would break up this fallow soil in my soul. I feel like the teaching and preaching I hear, the books I read, etc... are just bouncing off me; the Word of God does not go down deep in my heart, it just kind of stays on top of the hard, crusty soil and the wind comes and blows it away. What does it take to break up this soil? What must I do?
