A thought from one of Oswald Chambers’ lectures in the early
1900s still speaks volumes today: An unguarded strength is a double weakness.
People sometimes struggle with and focus so intently on
overcoming their weak points that they neglect to safeguard their strong ones. Thinking
you don’t need to concern yourself about this or that because those things don’t
tempt you or threaten your spiritual well-being is a dangerous mindset. That strength
becomes a vulnerable target of attack from the enemy of your soul—pride was his
downfall.
“Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12
