 Worthy Brief - November 29, 2024

Take heed to how you hear!

Mark 4:23-25  If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. 24  And He said to them, Take heed what you hear. With that measure which you measure, it shall be measured to you. And to you who hear, more shall be given. 25  For he who has, more shall be given to him; and he who has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.

The Shema is recited every Shabbat in Israel and throughout the world: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One." The emphasis is on hearing—not just with our ears but our hearts. That same emphasis runs through the Gospels, where Yeshua (Jesus) repeatedly says, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." This isn’t just a phrase -- it’s a life-changing command.

In Mark 4:23-25, Yeshua challenges us to heed how we hear. He's teaching that how we listen to His voice determines how much we receive from Him. When we truly hear what the Spirit is saying, not just with our ears but with faith and obedience, the Word comes alive. And here’s the promise: the more we listen and respond, the more He'll pour into our lives.

That's why I always begin my sermons with a prayer for listening ears -- because hearing isn’t automatic. It takes an open heart and a willingness to let the Spirit work. When we hear His Word with that kind of readiness, the message doesn't just land -- it multiplies! It bears fruit in ways we can’t even imagine.

But here's the warning: if we ignore His voice or fail to act on it, even what we think we have can slip away. It's not enough to hear; we must also do. Faithful hearing leads to faithful action, and that’s where the blessing is. When we heed what we hear, we’re not just enriched—we're transformed. We go from spiritually rich to spiritually richer.

So today, let’s ask ourselves: Are we truly hearing Him? Are we listening with hearts ready to obey? Because when we do, His blessings don’t just add up—they multiply!

Shabbat Shalom and have a great weekend! Until Monday!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna
