Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NKJV)
There is nothing new under the sun, The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing (Ecc. 1:8). So the preacher so eloquently put it. As branches connected to the main vine, we must never forget our source and giver of life. When connected to the vine, we flourish and bosom and bear fruits, yet we must take heed in all these things. We must watch and pray like the Savior advised us lest we fall into temptation. Even whenever a fall happens, He makes a way of escape for them that can connect back to their source and retract their steps.
Remember, you are not alone, it is not just about you, staying attached to the vine will cost nothing, but detaching, falling off and trying to reattach to the source again will cost more. Hence let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
