Fatal Self-Confidence
1 Corinthians 10:12
Why let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.


A wild beast tamer boasted that he was the entire master of the animals committed to his charge. They were completely his slaves. On entering the cage in which they were confined, he was immediately set upon, and but for timely assistance would undoubtedly have perished. So men often boast themselves masters over evil habits. They can drink without becoming slaves to it. Beware, lest in an unguarded moment the so-called slave becomes the master.

(Ellen K. Tripper.)
