“Hearing Emmanuel Always Redeems!” (H.E.A.R)
Ramesh C. Reddy
Publisher
Editors note: This is part of the
devotional I had with the Lord this morning of June 17, 05 that I wanted to share
with you all!
Quiet Times (Psalm 17, Proverbs
17, and 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 he has will be taken from him." (Mark
4:24-25)
Observations:
I asked
myself what Jesus continues to tell the disciples and those around Him.
-
“Consider
carefully what you hear.”
-
“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 he
has will be taken from him.”
Interpretation:
I asked
myself what all this could mean.
Jesus had just talked to them
about concealment and making a point for them to hear what He tells
them. Now, Jesus goes a step further and wants them to consider
carefully what they hear.
I asked
myself why?
Jesus wanted them to put into
practice and take seriously what they hear from Him. This is evidenced
by using the word, ‘CAREFULLY’ and what follows:
“With the
measure you use, it will be measured to you-and even more.
I asked
myself what this could mean.
It reminded me so much of sowing
again. Jesus had just given them the ‘Parable of the Sower’ and now it
was like Jesus telling them whatever and however they sow in their life,
it will be reaped back in their own life-even more.
This is evidenced by the next
point Jesus makes, “Whoever has will be given
more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”
I asked
myself what this could mean.
I believe it is all tied into
obedience. Jesus had just told his disciples not to hide their light
under a bowl or bed followed by those that have ears to hear, to hear
after telling them the 'Parable of the Sower'. Now, Jesus wanted them to
consider carefully what they heard so they could put it into practice.
It is not enough just to hear if it is not put into effect so Jesus lets
them know with the measure they use, it will be measured back to
them-even more. Also, Jesus goes a step further to let them know if they
are obedient, more will be given to them and if they are not, even what
they have will be taken from them.
Implications:
I saw important implications for
my own life. The most important thing has to do with applying what I
hear from Jesus through His Word, through His Spirit, through Prayer,
and through the Church as it is tested through the Word. Then, the
results will be blessings because of obedience.
I ask you
now dear friend, what do you do with what you hear?
Dear friend, we can do a lot
with what we hear. We can tune it out; we can take it in; we can share
it with others; we can be obedient; we can keep it to ourselves; we can
be disobedient, etc. Jesus wants us to consider carefully what we hear
and be obedient to His Word. Whatever you hear from Jesus, Jesus wants
you to put it into practice whether you hear it through His Spirit,
through Prayer, through the Church, etc all tested by the Word of God to
make sure we are actually hearing from Jesus.
When we are obedient, with the
measure we use, it will be measured back to us-even more. This is
exciting to know especially when we are obedient and do the right
things. However, if what we hear we do not put into practice we place
ourselves in a precarious position hurting only ourselves. When we do
not heed the call of Jesus, whatever we have will be taken away from us
because it is not for our good and we attained it without the blessings
of Jesus.
I believe it is so important
that we hear what Jesus wants to tell us and put it into practice. May
you hear the Lord and consider carefully what He tells you so you put it
into practice because He loves you and only wants the best for you!
Amen!
“Hearing
Emmanuel Always Redeems!” (H.E.A.R)/”What
do you do with what you hear?”
Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for loving us so much and dying for our sin
and coming back to life to save us. Thank you for your Word and the
power of your Word. Oh Lord, we want to hear from you and need to hear
from you. However, many times we let the things of this world cloud out
our time with you; to be able to listen to you. Please forgive us and
help us Jesus. We are so sorry for our sin and ask you to help us
please. Thank you Jesus you are so loving and whatever you do in our
lives is for our own good. I love you Lord. Help us to always trust in
you. Thank you Jesus! I confess to you all my sin and ask you to cover
me in your precious cleansing blood. Thank you so much Jesus. Thank you
Jesus for coming into my heart as I ask you. Thank you Jesus for making
my heart your home as I ask you! Live in me Jesus and I will live for
you and serve you the rest of the days of my life. Please Jesus be my
Lord and Personal Savior. Thank you Jesus and thank you, you have heard
my prayer and answered me. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!
Love in Christ,
Ramesh
