6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ~ 1 Corinthians 5:6
Paul said a little leaven leavens the whole lump, and it’s that way with us as well. When we leave an open door, such as taking the things that belong to God, we stumble at AI; we lose the fight with Adultery and Idolatry.
We are deceived into thinking it is no big deal, but we lose, and sometimes we lose everything. We begin to make Mammon our god. Take things for granted. Become ungrateful.
An ungrateful heart will cause us to separate ourselves from God because we will no longer see all of the good things the LORD has done for us. Our hearts will become hardened towards the LORD and all of His good blessings upon us.
Therefore, strive to remove even the littlest amount of leaven from within you so that you might not be consumed by the flesh. Don’t be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good. Give thanks daily to the LORD for His many, many good blessings and gifts. And in doing so, you will overcome an ungrateful heart that is tied with Mammon.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Overcome With Thanksgiving.
