Greetings to all. As we progress through this week and journey through life, let us reflect on how we listen, realizing the importance of carefully listening.
Listening is important, but filtering what we listen to is even more critical. Listening goes beyond hearing words. The way we listen will determine how we hear. Our ears can be likened to a womb, nurturing what it receives. It is our responsibility to shape what we hear.
Mark 4:24 (GW)
24 He said, "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.
Lesson: There is wisdom in listening. Since we bear fruit, what we hear will plant either good seeds of wisdom or bad seeds that will grow harmful thoughts and behaviors that lead to unwanted and unexpected harvests. We can always choose the seeds we want to plant through careful listening.
