BEWARE...

SCRIPTURE


Matthew 16:5-12 (NRSV)

Bread as a sign of other things

When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. Jesus said to them, "Watch out, and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They said to one another, "It is because we have brought no bread." And becoming aware of it, Jesus said, "You of little faith, why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? How could you fail to perceive that I was not speaking about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.


MEDITATION—Today is Saturday Psalmody! Today, the meditation is offered as a psalm from my heart. If you would like a more traditional devotion, please search the archives for a title that appeals to you! (smile)


BEWARE

Beware dear one

Of those who seek to lead you astray

Beware of those

Who twist my words

Offering false hope

In things that do not

Produce eternal life

Beware dear one

That you do not stumble in the darkness

Seeking prosperity, wealth, and abundance

As you forsake the greater gift

Beware dear one

That you do not imagine

That I do not have everything

That I need to meet all of your needs

Beware dear one

For your memory is short

And you so quickly forget

What you have seen and heard

And felt and experienced

Beware dear one

That you do not forget the abundance

Of my love for you

That you do not take for granted

My great provision for all your need

Beware dear one

For you cannot pray loud enough

Or work hard enough

To earn your way into heaven.

Always remember

Always RE-MEMBER

That I am The Way

The Truth

The Life

Perceive

Remember

Believe

I am

JESUS.

I am

EVERYTHING.
