Don't You Understand Yet?

Jesus warned them, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” His followers discussed the meaning of this,.. Knowing what they were talking about, Jesus asked them, “Why are you talking about not having bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your minds closed? You have eyes, but you don’t really see... ears, but you don’t really listen. Remember... the five thousand? How many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?” They answered, “Twelve.” “And... the four thousand...?” "Seven.” Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand yet?” (Mark 8:15-21 NCV) We can be so focused on what we are doing—what concerns us—that we don't realize what God is wanting to teach us. Faith is not intended to carry us from day to day, but to the very heart of God. ©Word-Strong_2014
