Ecclesiastes 9:18 New International Version (NIV)
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner destroys much good.
but one sinner destroys much good.
Just a little leaven and the whole lump is changed. A sinful
person can have the same effect on a whole group of people committed to God. So
let's be wise and reverence God by obeying him and his Word. Let's be
insightful in the way we deal with sin and temptation in our lives. Also, let's
be sure to remember that we are at war with the evil one. Then let's praise
God, because our Savior has already defeated our enemy and the Holy Spirit
empowers us to stand up to Satan's attacks and resist his temptation.
Thought for today:
How much time do I spend in the vain practice of trying to extend the “benefit
of the doubt” (attempting to make sense of the nonsensical)?
