I started with the word, “measure” in Mark 4:24…and found these verses going back to Genesis with Joseph…in his obedience to do what God had showed him through the Pharaoh’s dream…

Each verse so encouraging…provision, good, without end, abundance, allotment…gift…

Thank YOU….for your measure…help me to pay attention as in Mark…to the Word…

Jer.33.22

 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

 Mark.4.24-25

 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Rom.12.3

 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Eph.4.1-7
