2 Corinthians
10:12
"So, if you
think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"
NIV
"Wherefore
let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." KJV
Don't we all get a
good sense of ourselves when we think we are doing well and our spiritual walk
is strong? Actually, that is one of the most dangerous times for us as
Christians. At those times, we tend to lose our humility and the reality that we
have no strength at all, but the Lord's. The enemy loves to take advantage of
these moments when we get off guard with thinking we are doing right well. We
get a little too relaxed. Before we know it, we find ourselves at the edge of a
cliff, the verge of temptation. If that doesn't get our attention, we will fall
right off the edge. The Word warns us about this. If we remember that we only
stand firm because our God is holding us up, we will be aware of just where the
edge of the cliff is.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for those times we get proud of our spiritual walk and think we have
it all together. Help us to keep on the cloak of humility, knowing You are our
strength. Give us ongoing awareness of the cliff edges so that we can walk on
solid ground by Your grace. We thank You for watching over us and we pray this
in the name of Jesus, Amen.
