“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued, ”With the measure you use, it will be measured to you-and even more”  Mark 4:24 (NIV).  Most of the time, we do not hear or see as good as we think we do.  Our perceptions and perspectives alter what really is.  It is important in our devotional times that we are attentive to what God is saying.  The more we truly hear, our capacity increases for even more, as truth builds upon truth.  Lord, grant me ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to receive truth!
