Mark 8 Dense like the Disciples

In Mk 8, Jesus' disciples have seen him heal; they have seen him cast out demons; they have seen him feed 5000 people with a few loaves and fish and have 12 baskets left over; they have seen him feed 4000 and have 7 baskets left. After all that, when Jesus talks about the leaven of the Pharisees the disciples don't get it. It makes me wonder at how often I have been so dense. God must sigh, shake his head and say, "Have we walked together so long and you still don't get it?"

Lord, don't let me continue in my own dense lack of understanding. Open my eyes and soften my heart that I might walk in your light.
