UNDERSTANDING: Listen to Jesus to gain more understanding - Mark 4:24

Then He [Jesus] added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to My teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.” Mark 4:24-25

Living Truth

• "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." John 10:27-28
• "This is what the LORD says: Don't let wise people brag about their wisdom. Don't let strong people brag about their strength. Don't let rich people brag about their riches. If they want to brag, they should brag that they understand and know Me. They should brag that I, the LORD, act out of love, righteousness, and justice on the earth. This kind of bragging pleases Me, declares the LORD." Jeremiah 9:23-24

Prayer

Teach me Your ways, Lord Jesus. I treasure Your teachings which deepen my understanding of God's eternal purpose for my life and enriches my soul with a fullness of hope. Help me, Holy Spirit, to have a teachable heart so I can learn to be an attentive listener of Christ. Abba Father, I ask that You please give me wisdom and understanding to help build up family members and friends who are struggling with their faith. Use me today to help someone whom Satan, the father of lies, is tearing apart with deception and arrogant pride. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
