You’re Not that Smart

“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12).

You’re not that smart. That’s what this verse is saying.

You think you can outwit satan? You think you can withstand his assault? Come on. satan talked angels out of heaven. You don’t think he can talk you into sin and hell? You’re not that smart.

So, then, what is our hope? 1 Corinthians 10:13, Paul tell us, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful.”

What is our only hope? God. Trust in God. Turn to God. When the devil rages war with his lies, turn to God and read God’s word. Turn to God’s truths.

On our own, we have no chance. Our only hope in temptation is God. Turn to him. You can find him present in his word, in his truth.
