Plowing is not passive work. The plowman must keep their eyes fixed on the goal (post, tree, flag on a stick) to maintain a straight row. After averting the eyes only for a moment, the perspective may change so much that it takes several more moments to recognize the goal and reorient to it.
Simultaneously, the plowman must be aware of the job immediately at hand, and make adjustments for maximum impact. If the ground is hard, the plowman must slow down and press in to break it up. If the ground is a muddy bog, the plowman must speed up, so as not to get stuck in the mire. If the ground is rocky, the plowman must occasionally pause, remove the stone(s), pause again to reorient himself, and continue with purpose.
It is always a joy to read what you share from your totally dedicated to the Lord heart. You and your words are an inspiration always, steady and true. Thanks.
