It is just a little…

1 Cor. 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? (ASV)

It is just a little it does not matter. Somehow we seem to forget, it all matters, and it is the little things that make the big things matter. T. S. Elliot had it right, when he stated - We know too much and convinced of too little.

Many times we think we are not responsible, if we are not directly involved, although we were aware and did nothing…one apple can destroy the bunch, and disrupt the order. The bunch is no longer what it was, the order is disrupted because chaos ensues as the ‘bad apple’ is covering it track by drawing others into their web of madness. While still others are trying to find, their way in the this web of deceit. It is failure to realize, the act of doing nothing, makes us responsible too. See, our actions, whether we act or not, will always affect those around us. We become, what we surround ourselves with, is not just an good statement to share or told to us by our parental advisors, but an axiom, truism to live by daily. Because yes Virginia, a little leaven, can containment the whole bunch, and block blessing from appearing in our lives just because of who we are connected to in this life.

Don’t believe me less us take a look at a story in the old testament Joshua 7:10-12;19 - The LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction… Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”…Achan decided to go against what was command from God and caused troops to not be victorious. Although, no one knew, God knew and was not please…Who are you connected to, or who are your friends connect to? You choose who you are around, choose wisely, it matters.
