Two Minutes In The Bible With JesusExemplo

Change-Agent
 

The word of Christ is a change-agent for the kingdom of God. Like small batches of yeast, truth leavens the Lord’s influence in a heart and soul. A little bit of Scripture goes a long way toward growing a quickened heart for the Lord. The firm but loving fingers of our heavenly Father work the yeast of His love into our pliable soul. Patience sees faith rise up and cause a life to become appetizing, like the aroma of fresh baked bread. Truth is a change-agent for the soul. Furthermore, it takes work to knead the yeast of Yahweh into a life. The Holy Spirit is like the diligent cook who works the dough with beauty and persistence. The dough of our soul is tossed and turned, pounded and made smooth; so the yeast of God’s love works its influence into our inner being. We feel unstable at times, but this trusting posture invites us to receive faith’s full affects. Yes, faith’s fermenting process grows a bold and robust belief. A little leaven transforms.

Therefore, keep your heart softened with humility and pliable with prayer. A hard piece of dough is unable to grow, but a heart full of grace submits to the Holy Spirit’s control. Each day is an opportunity for Christ to bake fresh bread from our available life. Moldy and hardened bread is thrown out, fit only for the trash, but fresh bread is the dinner table centerpiece for all to anticipate. Is your life an opportunity for Almighty God? The Bread of Life changes you into His bread of life.

Lastly, be aware of unseemly influences that subtly change your heart’s desires. There is bad yeast, so beware! The yeast of greed quits growing generosity. The yeast of cynicism quits growing faith. The yeast of selfishness quits growing service. Thus, the best remedy for bad yeast is to replace it with the good yeast of God. Invite Christ to be your change agent for Him. Daily, kneel before your heavenly Father, so He can knead His character into your softened heart!

Heavenly Father, keep my heart softened by humility, so You can knead into my life what I need from You.
