Mark 8:15
And He (Jesus) was giving orders to them, (His disciples) saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

Jesus responded to them as always, speaking spiritually about the purity of the Bread of Life—His Word—and the attacks upon it. He IS the bread of life. {Jn.6:35}
Though the issue that brought this statement about was that His disciples had forgotten to take bread for their journey and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. Later, the apostle Paul would then make it abundantly clear that while natural men do not, can not, appraise the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to them, and they cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised—we likewise are called to appraise ALL things spiritually! {1Cor.2:14-15} Jesus had food to eat that they did not know about, at least until He taught them; His food was to do the will of His Father! {Jn.4:32} Never forget that good news puts fat on the bones. {Prov.15:30}
The Lord had promised long before that particular boat trip that He would not allow the righteous to go hungry. {Prov.10:3} David had said “I Will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” and continued by saying, “The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.” {Ps.34:1,10} The Lord has a plan for us, as He reveals through the prophet Jeremiah saying, I know the plans I have for you—plans to give you a hope and a future! {Jer.29:11}
He would later say once again through Paul in his letter to the believers in Philippi that God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. {Php.4:19} Often at the same time the enemy, Satan, will do all in his power to convince us otherwise—he is after all a liar by nature and the father of lies! {Jn.8:44} So be careful choosing what you listen to!
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” (2 Peter 2:1)
DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T GIVE IN – GOD IS FAITHFUL
Feast On The Word Of God
Today's Bible Study
The Letter to the Ephesians – Part 18
Chapter 5:21-27 — The Household of God. The start of a look at the good order of God’s family and the plan for a joyful, peaceful life in the family of God. It’s all about faith, obedience, humility and submission. And it does not work right any other way because, as the sign would say, it would be ‘Out of Order’
