Cut it out . . . it is the only way to get rid of most cancers. It is is the same with bad company . .. it must be removed. Sin, or yeast in the bible, must be removed from our lives or it will grow and grow and cause spiritual illness . . . sometimes even death! Pride, selfishness, ignorance, all can lead to our spiritual downfall. We must keep regular spiritual exams (just as we must physical exams) to identify and rid ourselves of the yeast in our lives!
And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” (Mark 8 13-15)
Jesus had just multiplied just a few fish and some loaves of bread to feed thousands, yet the disciples dod not know how they could eat of of simply one small loaf of bread! What little faith they had . . .what little faith we have today!
How many times do we doubt the Lord, even after He has come through for us time and time again. We all are guilty of it. Like the Pharisees, we constantly want miracles in our lives to prove the presence of God, yet He is doing it daily! Take the time to recall how He has taken us through tough times . . . illnesses, deaths in the family, physical challenges, various trials . . . how about this pandemic!
We have to stop doubting. We must stop thinking it is all on us. We have to begin to trust God more and ourselves and the world less. Stop trusting political parties, bank accounts, scientists, investors, and the like.
Cut it out! Trust God!!!
