Good Bread

Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Luke 13:20?-?21 NIV


A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
Galatians 5:9 NIV


Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:12 NIV


How can we recognize the bad yeast
So many different brands to pick from
Many have a quick expiration date
Many seeking praise of its rise time
When one has found the true yeast
One will begin to receive new knowledge
Distinguishing between good and bad
Working it's way through all the dough
That the good yeast will spread throughout
So when its time to rise
As the heat begins it's reaction
It shall all come together
In a beautiful creation
That is pleasing to the baker
With a new smell of aroma
Which fills His nostrils
