Then He said to them, Pay attention to what you hear. By the measure you use,  it will be measured and added to you. Mark 4:24 (HCSB)

And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you–and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. Marked 4:24 (Amplified)

    When I read this verse I always think of weighing scales… somehow, I never made the connection with a tape measure, and to think I use it often. LOL. Wanda, you just opened up my eyes to a new picture, girl!

    You did such a great job with that! Hmmmm. I'm going to have to go back and ponder on that scripture again.

    Love & hugs,
    Beth

    Pay attention! Pay attention! Pay attention! One of the most important message for NOW. Praying.

    Thank you, Cathy, Yvonne,Kaye.
    Appreciate you drop by Amanda and Donna.
    Jo.attalife and Beth, I actually had a different scripture in mine related to comparison at first but this scripture stood out to me instead. I enjoy WFW because it brings me fresh insight to scripture.

    wow…that graphic is so powerful…it just says…"sock it to them"
    Hope that is not an Aussie expression.
    It really helps the words to go slap bang whack….cop this and obey.

  11. Alicia, The Snowflake says

    Great word! May we give graciously and wholeheartedly not holding anything back. Happy WFW!

  12. Joanne Sher says

    Oh, Wanda. LOVE this. Makes me think of this verse in a completely different way. Happy WFW

  13. One Heart says

    Love it. Seems like a whole new verse the way the Amplified makes it so clear. Will definitely add this one to my further meditation list for today. Thanks sis!

  15. Joan says

    I love the graphic! He has blessings waiting to pour upon us, if only we would be as generous.

    Blessings,
    Joan

    Hi Wanda,
    What a great graphic and the promise from the Lord. So good to know that as we give to others, He blesses us.

    Sobering and encouraging all at once.

    I love how you chose to illustrate it – it's really given me a visual that makes sense.

  27. e-Mom says

    Now that's the most unique interpretation of this verse that I've ever seen!

    Happy WFW, Wanda
