Scripture Of The Day
Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. I Corinthians 10:12
By Cheryl Henderson ( Excerpts from Jentezen Franklin)
Our scripture of the day is a warning against overconfidence in one’s own spiritual strength. The verse emphasizes the need for humility, constant examination, and a reliance on God’s grace to overcome temptation and avoid complacency.
Greater success always leads to greater temptation. Your response to that temptation will depend entirely upon the condition of your soul at the time. Nobody plans to fail, but ignoring your spiritual condition guarantees failure. “So what do you do?” you ask. Begin to prepare now! You can cram the night before a real estate exam, but there’s cramming for a test of character. It comes up like a pop quiz, and you are either ready or you’re not.
Refuse to make the journey alone. Letting others in on what you want to be reinforces your perimeter of protection. Accountability is a powerful incentive to check any behavior that might take you out of bounds. There may be times when you drift across the line, but knowing that someone else knows and will call you out is a compelling motivator to take responsibility for your actions and correct them quickly. Remember, the enemy wants you to cross the line, and he wants to keep you there.
Constantly ask yourself: “What small thing in my life right now that has the potential to become destructive?” And who knows about it other than me? It is a wise thing to expose your struggles with a select group of people who really care about you, rather than to run the risk of something coming out publicly. You owe it to yourself to identify and conquer those baby dragons that have the potential to grow up and wound not only you, but those who put their trust in you.
