Luke 8:8-11 (KJV)
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Here is the truth of God’s Word; it is discernible only to disciples and then only to those who hear it again (and again).
The Bible, though not all parable, is spiritually discerned. We learn it not so much by study (though that is involved) but by asking the Lord to reveal it to us.
Believers, true disciples, those who have ears to hear, will ask the Lord and wait to hear His response. Others will move along with disinterest. Not getting what they want immediately, they leave frustrated and maybe even agitated. They seek something surface level, easy to hold on to quickly; something that won’t disrupt their own plans.
True believers wait not for what they want to hear but for what God wants to say. It is only they who hear the message of the Word.
