Hello one and all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! Jesu Jevu!!!
How often do we fall to the "dark" side? If a runner is running a hard
race, whether cross-country or on a track; if he/she falls they usually
get up and finish. Paul is telling us something here.
In Galatians 5:1
It
is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do
not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Paul tells us we are free in Christ, to stand firm, and don't fall into the slavery of doing wrong. Then, in verse 7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
We are running a good race and he asks what made you fall? It does not
come from God, our LORD. It comes from the source of the world where
the prince of the world roams, one whom we call satan.
Paul is throwing out a caution sign and telling us to beware; look at verse 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
A little bit can create discourse throughout if it is allowed to grow.
If the seed is planted, even if it is false, people will fall prey to
it. An example would be: I heard your boss was having an affair with a
lady from XYZ Company. Oops, the seed is planted and that element of
doubt will seep in, then you will wonder, watch, and maybe even share
this "news" with others. What happens? It spreads like wildfire and
the world thrives on it.
Don't let the leaven rise; continue
to run the good race, and when in doubt look UP to the one to who gave
you freedom. Again, God is good all the time!!! Love you all.
