We need to guard against ever believing that we are better than or a firmer believer than the next person. Unless you hear the voice of the Lord for yourself and take your burdens to Him directly, the doors are already open to deception and deceit. Nobody walls away in one fell swoop, it starts subtly, little by little ever so subtly a small thing here and another there, still feeling good about ourselves because we have this great understanding and know where to draw the line. Thing is once you have left the narrow way, there are no more lines to draw. The only way back is on your knees in humbleness, always remembering that Satan is going around like a roaring lion but also as a sneaky tempter to devour whoever let their guard down. Not one of us have arrived yet, let us persevere and keep our noses to the grindstone. There is no room for pride and arrogance. Let us keep following Jesus, obey Him and follow His commandments.
