“Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?” – 1 Corinthians 5:6
When I read this verse, I picture a small amount of yeast working its way through a lump of dough, transforming it from the inside out.
1 Corinthians 5:6 reminds us that our attitudes and actions, even when seemingly small, can have a profound impact on our lives and the lives of those around us. Just as a little yeast can cause the entire batch to rise, our pride or negative behaviors can influence our community and relationships. Therefore, we are called to be mindful of our actions and strive for purity and humility, knowing that each small choice matters.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to be aware of how my words and actions can influence others, and guide me to reflect Your love and humility in all I do. May I seek to uplift rather than boast, and let my life be a testimony of Your grace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
