Mark 4 - Praying God's Word

Please read Mark 4.

Meditate on verses 9 and 39.

And He was saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” 

And the wind died down, and it became perfectly calm.

Jesus taught a very large crowd with these opening words: “Listen to this!” (v. 3). He proceeded to tell a parable, a story that teaches truth. Afterwards, Jesus explained to His followers what the main elements of the story represented and that not everyone listening to the story actually heard Him.

Mark 4 ends with a vivid picture of really hearing Jesus. When Christ gave the wind and the sea the command to “hush, be still,” they listened and obeyed Him; the wind died down, and the sea became perfectly calm (v. 39).

Do you have ears to hear Jesus? The proof will be your obedience to His Word.

Pray Mark 4:20 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let _______ and me be good soil on whom Your seed is sown.

Let us hear the Word, accept it,

 and bear fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.

For the sake of Your kingdom, Jesus~”
