“Though all men shall…yet will I
never…” How little we know of ourselves, not
realizing we are capable of anything and everything others do. Spiritual pride
is a cancerous condition, to be guarded against continually. It caused
Lucifer’s fall and is one of the main marks of a Pharisee. “I thank thee,
that I am not as other men are.” Is it any wonder we are warned, “…let him that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he fall.” We are least safe when we are most secure.
We need to be cautious of sudden
resolutions. We can become over confident in our ability and stability.
Peter found talk was easy at a distance, but was more difficult “up close and
personal.” I have found over the years that they who are shallowest fall
soonest.
Those who think themselves better
than others oft time find themselves worse.
(R.D.S)
