Hi my "walking with" friend. In Mark 4:21-25, Jesus is still teaching, using parables to teach some fundamental truths. Wanting his listeners to understand, he asks: "When you want light, do you put your lamp under a basket, or under your bed? No, you put it on a lampstand. Do you realize that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed and that nothing secret will remain secret? Pay attention to what you hear. The way YOU measure something is the same measure others will use to measure you; and to you who hear, with understanding, more will be given. To those who HAVE, more will be given, but, from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away." It's a hard saying, yes. But we know the truth of it: pay close attention, learn, think, develop understanding of something, and MORE understanding will grow. Fail to focus, and one will fall off track. In effect, Jesus is
 saying, I want you with me, but you need to engage your WHOLE mind and spirit to grasp the truth and walk in it.  My friend, let's work to understand and applyJesus' message.

Whose name is at the very top of the list for a business, a corporation, a charity organization? Yes, you're right when you say: "the CEO." Who is at the top of your list? Paul writes this to the Philippians:"God desires that your attitude be like the attitude Jesus had. Although he is the Son of God, he did not cling to his rights, but humbled Himself and appeared in human form. And, in human form, he humbled himself even further by dying on a cross. BECAUSE he humbled himself under the shadow of mighty hand of GOD, the LORD RAISED CHRIST UP TO THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN, AND GAVE HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME! So that, at the Name of JESUS, every/ that is:EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO JESUS CHRIST, BOTH ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN. And EVERY tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. Be very careful, Brothers and Sisters, always to honor Christ in word and deed." Wow! EVERY KNEE to bow and EVERY tongue to confess that JESUS CHRIST ...
