Sin is subtle where we are strong

Sin is subtle where we are strong

Ouch. This hit my like a ton of bricks today!

We foolishly assume that our real struggles with sin are in the areas where we are “weak.” We do not well understand the depth of sin until we realize that it has made its home far more subtly where we are “strong” and in our gifts rather than in our weaknesses and inadequacies. It is in the very giftedness God has given that sin has been at its most perverse and subtle!Sinclair Ferguson
