MARK 4: 24
"Pay close attention to what you hear. THE CLOSER YOU LISTEN, the more understanding you will be given. Those who listen and carefully consider my
teaching will receive even more!"
You have to be careful what you listen to. When you listen you have to be careful and listen closely. The One Truth Today tells us, this is the way that we can gain more understanding. If you carefully consider the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Lord God, you receive even more and more understanding! Are you listening, what did you hear? When it comes to the Word of God, we have to measure our thoughts and study to receive the full measure of knowledge and understanding that is offered. If we listen carefully and consider the messages of God we will be given even more then we could hope for or expect!
The measure or standard that you give to listening to the Word of God and paying attention, is the standard or measure of what you will derive from the study. There is a promise of God here.
More will be given to those who are the most diligent in listening and understanding. We are told that to one to whom much has been given, even more will be added. We are also told that whoever does just a little listening , even that which he has, will be taken away. The rewards are commensurate to the effort, just as it is in so many things in life. If you want understanding
and wisdom, pay close attention to the Lord and listen carefully to what you hear. Carefully consider the teaching and you will receive even more than you expect.
If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit of God is saying to you. If you want wisdom, understanding and knowledge, you need to get closer and deeper into the Word of God. You must pay greater and closer attention to what you hear and carefully consider the teaching of the Lord. The more that you get into the Word of the Lord , the more you will understand and the wiser you will become. If you do not listen to the Lord even what little understanding that you feel you have will be taken away from you . THE CLOSER YOU LISTEN, the more you will understand God!
