Answer

"Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved." Luke 8.12

The devil can steal the Word of the heart because, despite hearing it, the person still did not care, they were not interested, they despised it and gave it no value. They did not care for it because, in their eyes, it wasn't that important. Who would neglect a precious jewel?
For each four people who hears the word, at least one of them despises it.

BEAUTY IS PASSING

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."      Proverbs 31.30

Being beautiful and valued by her husband, children and friends is what the woman of this world wants the most.
However, the woman of the Kingdom of God lives to serve her Lord.  Her goal is not to receive honor, but to honor Him with her life.

LACK NO OIL

"Let your garments always be white, and let your head lack no Oil."Ecclesiates 9:8

The Holy Spirit is the Oil the Lord Jesus sent to His followers. What else can we say about such care? What words can we use to express the greatness of His presence? How can we explain to the world that He is His Son Jesus' Substitute?
Only those who have an experience with Him can truly value His importance!

Search of pearls

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls..." Matthew 13:45

Those who are born of the Spirit know the value of their salvation. For this reason, there's no way they let it be at risk. Instead, they're always watching and praying, so they don't lose it.

Perseverance

"I know your works, your labour and your perseverance, and how you can not bear men that are evil: and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name sake, and have not grown weary." Revelation 2:2-3

Jesus reveals to the Apostle John that He holds His servants in His Hands: pastors that are at His disposal in the preaching of His Word. He says that He walks among the seven gold candlesticks - a symbol of the seven types of people that serve Him; people that were bought with His blood and are therefore priceless in value before Him. At the end, He praises those who persevere and don't give up, even in the face of difficulty.

We honour a just God, Who appreciates faithful children that persevere.
