You're Not That Strong

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
