Psalm 30:1-12
Proverbs 7:24-27

Question of the day: What did the Lord have against yeast?

God did not forbid using yeast in everyday baking, but specifically prohibited it to make a reminder. The Israelites were to bake unleavened bread to remind them of their fleeing quickly from Egypt. When they ate it, it would remind them of what God did for them. Yeast is also a reminder about sin. Yeast is symbolic of pride, which puffs up a person. It can also illustrate how just a little sin can spread to the whole being.

What are your questions?
