And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. — Mark 4:24-25 KJV
“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.” — Mark 4:24-25 NIV
Thought and Reflection
If you put effort into these things – bible study, looking for God, filling in your Christian life, in your congregation, into love, not exclusively will you receive from God in every one of these areas – you will get much more. God will gonna give more blessings into your life.
Yet in addition, remember the admonition. If you don’t invest effort; if you are apathetic – even what you have will be removed.
There is no stopping in the realm of God. You are either pushing ahead or you are moving in reverse. You are either going ahead and being honored or you are going in reverse and losing God’s favors in your life.
So I encourage you today, push ahead – and receive God’s plentiful blessings.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, please open my eyes, my heart, and my mind, so that I can appropriate your message into my life.
Grant me Your abundant blessings, so that what I hear in Your word is seen in my life. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
