“A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is” (Galatians 5:9-10).
The Lord knows those who are His. The Lord knows who are seeking to lead His little ones astray. We are in a battle, not between flesh and blood, but principalities and forces. Do not be misled and do not fall into the temptation of thinking that you may behave as you wish. The Lord has given His Word and has died for you. These are important and serious things.
Lord, help me to see more clearly that in You and You alone is all hope. There are those who would lead me astray to follow other paths. Guide me, O Lord, that I would not be led away by chasing after futile things. Instead, give me conviction of faith that I would stand firm in the truth You have revealed once for all. Let me be able to stand before You with a clear conscience.
Lord Jesus, You know all that is needed. You know what gets in the way of my faith. Lead me, O Lord, away from those who would influence me in the wrong way. Guide me according to Your goodness to follow more closely the truth You have revealed. Help me to live more fully the way You have established and become a rock of faith as Your saints of old. Amen.
