Yeast
1 Corinthians 5:7 (MSG) Our true identity is flat and plain, not puffed up with the wrong kind of ingredient.
Paul, here, is using the illustration of 'yeast' puffing up. Jesus Himself talked of the effect of yeast being bad in our lives.
We do get tempted to see ourselves with all kinds of 'puffed up' illusions, we may be winning in business, a sale, a relationship and suddenly in our minds we are the greatest.
Keeping our feet firmly planted on the ground is important and knowing that the blessing comes from God, our salvation.
It is He who gives me power to become rich, it is He who goes before me making straight the path.
Yes, it is He who made me, but it is also He who holds all things together. Amen!
