Pay Attention, Mark 4: 24

Beloved,

And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.” (Mark 4:24)

We all know that there are some people who are “chit-chatters;” those people who are likely to say most anything. They are the people who don’t give allot of thought to the things they say and are very likely to blurt out whatever come across their mind. But did you know that there are other people who don’t give much thought to what they hear? They are the ones who hear words of wisdom or godly counsel intended to invoke changes that bring about holiness and yet this group of people carelessly disregards what they have heard.
Jesus gives us a very stern warning about “idle hearing.” He says that with the same lack of concern we use with hearing God’s word, the God who issued that word will use with us. I don’t know about you but it frightens me to think that God may shrug off my words (i.e. my prayers for help or comfort) simply because I have treated His word carelessly by ignoring the changes it commands. I seems to me that it would be much better to heed the instructions of God’s word and make sure I applied all that God commanded me. That way, the next time God hears my feeble words, He will receive them in the same way I received His.

Word for the weak

“Pay attention” (991) βλέπω [blepo] v. to see, take heed, behold, beware, look on; to discern, with the bodily eye: to be possessed of sight, have the power of seeing; perceive by the use of the eyes: to see, look descry; to turn the eyes to anything: to look at, look upon, gaze at; to perceive by the senses, to feel; to discover by use, to know by experience; metaph. to see with the mind’s eye; to have (the power of) understanding; to discern mentally, observe, perceive, discover, understand; to turn the thoughts or direct the mind to a thing, to consider, contemplate, to look at, to weigh carefully, examine. Used in Mark 4: 24; look it up.
