Mark 4:23
Interestingly, Christ says this soon after explaining the parable of the sower. Thinking about the lesson of that parable, that we need to be the good ground for the seeds of the gospel, it seems that this phrase is explaining something similar... just as the gospel is always good and it is our ground and weeds that can be an impediment to growth, so too is God *always* speaking to us, always reaching out and offering us his Spirit to help guide and gladden our lives. And it is up to us to hear him... to tune into that frequency through prayer and study, and being willing to listen and learn and do as he asks.
Today, let's have ears to hear him. As we develop in this way, God will be able to communicate with us more and more, granting us more joy and more guidance.
