Use What You've Been Given

Scripture:

Mark 4:24-25  "'Consider carefully what you hear', he continued.  'With the measure you use, it will be measured to you - and even more.  Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them'".

Observation:

Jesus told those around Him to consider carefully what they were hearing.  He just told them some parables about the kingdom and H e wanted them to seek the truth in what they heard.  He told them that they had to use what they heard and that when they use it, more will be given to them.  He was saying that we must hear the word and do what it says, then we would receive more.

Application:

Many people are running around looking for some great revelation, but they are not doing anything about the revelation they have already been given.  When we act on the revelation we have, we will be given more!  We must seek to put into practice everything we've been hearing for years in our lives.  When we do, we will receive more and begin to walk in more.

Prayer:

Father, let me be a doer and not a hearer only.  Help me to put into practice everything You have spoken to me.  Teach me to walk in the revelation I have already been given and expect more to come.

You're the best,

Jeff
