And He said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
-- Mark 4:24-25
If we come with;
✝️ hunger for the truth: You will find nourishment. You will be spiritually fed and your heart will overflow with understanding and joy.
😩 disinterest in the Word: If you see no value in the gospel, the richness of God’s truth will escape you.
😒 critically looking for faults: You will only find reasons to complain, missing the blessings hidden in plain sight.
God’s response to us mirrors how we respond to Him. When we reject His teachings we risk losing even the spiritual blessings we once had.
When we actively receive the Word with gladness and live it out, God grants us more of growth, understanding and blessings.
Spiritual growth builds on momentum. Just as small steps lead to great faith, neglect can lead to spiritual stagnation.
Developing godly habits of listening, meditating, and living the Word ensures that we continue to grow in faith and love.
Ask yourself: Am I listening with an open heart, or am I letting distractions or doubts or my current understanding keep me from His truth?
Jesus reminds us that our spiritual journey is a partnership. He offers His Word abundantly—will you receive it and allow it to transform your life?
Prayer:
Lord, help me to listen to Your Word with an open and eager heart. Let my desire for Your truth grow, and may my life reflect the blessings of Your spiritual riches. Amen.
