Oh Be Careful Little Ears
MARCH 4, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 9-11 / Mark 8:22-38
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
When I was a child in Sunday school, there was a song that said, “Oh, be careful little ears what you hear.” We, of course, always think this has to do with listening to the wrong music, stories, bad jokes, etc. Did you ever think it might be the wrong Bible teaching?
In today’s verse, Jesus warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod. When we read this in Matthew 16:12, he explained that the leaven was their false doctrines. Some today say doctrine is not important; just preach and teach about general things that we can all agree on. However, Jesus says, Oh be careful little ears, what you hear. Wrong, false doctrine is so dangerous.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Are those people you listen to teaching you the right Doctrine?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
