*DAILY DEW 12/JULY/2025* *Benefits of Staying Connected* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them."* (Mark 4: 11-12) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:11-12, Jesus explains to His disciples why He teaches in parables. He reveals that understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of God is a gift given to those who are receptive and willing to follow Him. However, for those who are outside of this inner circle, parables serve as a means of revelation that will be hidden from them due to their hardness of heart. This passage highlights the importance of spiritual discernment and receptivity. Jesus teaches that understanding spiritual truths requires a willingness to receive and obey God's Word. Those who are open to God's message will be given greater insight, while those who resist will remain in darkness. The quote from Isaiah 6:9-10, referenced in Mark 4:12, suggests that spiritual blindness can be a consequence of persistent resistance to God's message. This emphasizes the importance of accountability and the need for individuals to respond to God's call. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts and responses to God's Word. Are we receptive to God's message, or do we resist its truth? _MEDITATION:_ *"Be open to God's Word and be willing to obey, so you can gain a deeper understanding of His kingdom and live according to His will."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.
