of yeast and making a difference

 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep 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.” ¹⁰ I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. ~Galatians 5:7-10 {NIV}


I don't know about you guys, but I really like the books that Paul authored {though of course God gave him the words} :) They are so filled with practical wisdom that I can't help but understand!
                                                                           *ahem*
                                                                       ...Anyway
All through the Bible, yeast is used as an example of "sin" {that's one reason the Jews made only unleavened bread in the Old Testament}
So, have you ever considered that those seemingly "little" things you do can make a big difference?
Like, for example, You tell your mom one leeeeetle lie...it's not going to make much difference, right? {wrong!} Or even something that isn't inherently wrong but something you know will lead to sin, even something as simple as sitting next to a {*ahem* very handsome} guy in youth group. ;)
Though, the same thing goes for good things :)
Like, holding open the door for that elderly couple at the grocery store...or smiling at that new girl...or {and I can attest to this, seriously, it used to make my entire day} smiling at little girls when you catch them looking at you :)
Those little things can make a HUGE difference! Just like a little bit of yeast can leaven an entire loaf of bread, just a little bit of sin can turn you away from God, and in the same way, one little nice thing can make someone else's day! :)

PS: Happy Leap Day everyone! {do something awesome!}

The thoughts going through my brain {have fun delving through it all!}

• I can be rather judgemental of dead authors
• Sometimes I yell at old dead authors of the Bible {like, for example, PAUL} because I don't like what they wrote
