More for the Listener
"You people that hear me, listen! Think carefully about the
things you hear. The way you give is the way God will give to
you. But God will give you more than you give."
-- Mark 4:23-24 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
If yesterday's message (We will one day be able to understand all the
truth about the Kingdom.) was intended to comfort us, today's message
is meant to motivate us. We must earnestly, attentively, pursue the
truth of Jesus. The only way to do this is by paying attention to what
he says! That means re-acquainting ourselves with the Gospels and
focusing on his words. Only as we apply ourselves to listening to our
Master will we be able to grow in our ability to perceive, to
understand, and to know the full will of our Savior. The old RCA Victor
logo had a picture of a dog listening attentively to the "speaker" of a
gramophone with the title "His Master's Voice." Jesus is saying to us
that we must have our ear to Scripture and listen for our Master's
voice!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, help me as I try to be more disciplined and attentive
to the words of your Son and my Savior. I want to know Jesus' truth by
studying his life and words, understanding them, and putting them into
practice. Mold me and make me more into a person like my Lord as I
listen for his voice. In Jesus' name. Amen.
