"Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given. Those who LISTEN CAREFULLY and consider my teaching will receive even more."
When it comes to the Lord's teachings, do you pay close attention and can you hear? Are you careful who you listen to and what you hear? Do you really hear what is being said when you listen to someone? Have you experienced the delight of receiving even more when you carefully consider the Lord's teachings? When it comes to the Word of God, the measure of thought and study you give to His truths will be the measure of the virtue and knowledge that you receive. LISTEN CAREFULLY to the messages of God and you will receive even more than you expected!
Your listening and hearing of the Word of God is proportional to the learning you will receive. Your study habits are vital to ensure that you get the most out of God's Word. Pay close attention and you will increase your understanding. Carefully consider His teaching and you will receive even more understanding. The promise here is that the more diligent you are the more you will be given. To whom much has been given, even more will be given. To whom little has been given, even that little will be lost or taken away. Your reward will be commensurate with your paying close attention to His teaching and then considering what you heard.
If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit of God is telling you. You need to get closer and pay more attention to the Word of God that you have been given. Pay greater attention whenever you hear or read the Word of God. The more that you learn and understand, the more you will be given. If you do not LISTEN CAREFULLY, even the little that you learn or understand will be taken from you. The greater the effort on your part, the greater the reward from the Lord!
Can you hear the Spirit talking to you?
