Mark 4:24-25 (God's Word)

Jesus gives us the secret to spiritual growth. "Pay attention to what you're listening to! Knowledge will be measured out to you by the measure of attention you give. This is the way knowledge increases. Those who understand these mysteries will be given more knowledge. However, some people don't understand these mysteries. Even what they understand will be taken away from them" Mark 4:24-25 (God's Word). It is not listening or reading, but "paying attention" or putting into practice, that leads to more knowledge. Lord, help me to see that everything I read or hear from you must be put into practice that I might know you more completely.
