Standing Strong or Sitting Pretty


“Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence. No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.” - ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭MSG‬‬


There is an old saying that refers to someone who thinks he has made it in life or appears financially secure.“ that person is “sitting pretty.” Whenever we feel we have made it beyond failure, all our battles won, it’s time to reconsider. We are most vulnerable when we let down our guard because we think we are beyond struggle or immune to common temptations. God has a path for us and our weakest and strongest moments, and it always involves connection with him and connection with other believers.


Team Wade loves you and is praying for you ❤️👊
