James reminds trials test our perseverance, temptation is never from God. God is the source of "every perfect gift,". Sin is born from our desires. Jesus warns against the "yeast" of the Pharisees and Herod. Yeast is a metaphor for their hypocrisy, false teaching, legalistic attitudes & unbelieving mindset. Disciples, distracted by a physical lack of bread, fail to see the Provider standing before them. Readings call us to resist inner temptation & spiritual perception.
