Friday May 15th- Walking in Wisdom!
Be Careful what you are hearing! Are you taking it to heart and believing it
or is it just a passing thought?
Mark 4
Jesus taught many things to the people in parables.
Parables defined in the amplified bible are
concrete illustrations put beside truths to explain them.
Stories that we can
relate to. [in my own words]
The verses that stuck out to me were in :23-24 and I have
always wondered what they meant.
The
verses below help to put it all into perspective.
Nothing like God’s Word to know the truth.
: 23 If any man has ears to hear,
let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend.
:24 And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure[of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear.
Have you ever
really stopped to think about what this means?
When we hear
something what do we do with it?

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

These scripture verses give us much to think about.
What are you doing with what you are reading
in God’s Word?
Do you take it to heart
or is it just good reading?
I believe
when we earnestly seek Him and wait upon Him, we don’t just hear the word but
we live the word.
As we live out His
word He gives us more and more of His truths to live by.
The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the love of God and the presence and fellowship (the communion and
sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen
(so be it). [Amp. Bible] II Cor. 13:14
