"Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" (1 Cor 10:12). Beware of settling comfortably in your strong suits, where temptations aren't tempting, and standing boldly in faith, happens without a second thought. A moment of anger, fear, lust, cowardice plowed through Moses, Elijah, David, and Peter's areas of strength, momentarily rending their dedicated service to the Lord; the consequences of their actions were costly. Unguarded strengths can be double weaknesses for anyone, no matter how devoted to God; places the enemy of your soul targets when you least expect his presence. So, stay alert; the devil walks the earth to throw off balance and devour those who are inattentive and unsuspecting (1 Pet 5:8). Obey God; lean on and trust His strength, not yours.
