Gal 5:7-10
7You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? 8That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9"A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
soo these 4 verses spoke to me today..and it was kinda reassuring yet scary at the same time. It sounded like something that would apply to me, something silly that i would have landed myself into. What even scarier is that the person who would most probably be leading me astray, would be myself.. In the previous verses and chapters, Paul has been talking about how we should not let ourselves live in bondage, but in the freedom and liberty that comes from believing in Jesus Christ. Then here in v9, he is telling us not to be contaminated.. that a little yeast will work through the whole dough. All that is needed is that little bit of contamination, and the whole dough will be 'destryoed' in a sense, nothing will be let away. In the same way, we have to be very careful of our lives, not allowing any sin to enter, and not to deceive ourselves that what we're doing is ok, or is the right thing, as said in v8. We have to remember that God is always for us, loving us, and believing in us..but the only thing that seperates us at times is the sin in our lives, sin that was committed by us.
Father, where i've gone wrong, forgive me. Let me once more run the race of life that You have set out before me, and never stop untill i have reached my finishing line.
