12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
— 1 Corinthians 10:12 NLT
No matter whether we are new Christians or have served God most of our lives, we still have faults and weaknesses. Not one of us has a corner on the depths of the meaning of the Holy Scriptures. We need to always have a teachable spirit and attitude. When pride leads us to the point that we think we can’t be tempted, watch out, we are about to fall. When we think “oh, I would never get to that point”, be very careful that you are so proud of your discernment. The evil one knows our weaknesses and exploits them with amazing dexterity and cleverness. The sly old fox is always lurking around us waiting for that moment of weakness when he can shoot an arrow through the chink in our Spiritual armor. One of his favorite tactics is compromise. A little of this, just this time, won’t hurt and anyway, who’s going to know? The devil is very adept at showing us beautiful things that turn out to be nothing but illusions. “It’s just a little lie, it’s just a little sin” is a big lie that he wants us to believe.
Be very careful, it is “the little foxes that spoil the vines” – Song of Solomon 2:15
