We generally think of Satan attacking us at our weakest spot. … But weakness is not our only vulnerability. Satan can also attack us where we think we are strong -- in the very areas where we are proud of our strengths. He will approach us through the greatest talents and spiritual gifts we possess. If we are not wary, Satan can cause our spiritual downfall by corrupting us through our strengths as well as by exploiting our weaknesses. (Elder Dallin H. Oaks) And in the *fifty and first year of the reign of the judges there was peace also, SAVE it were the PRIDE which began to enter into the church -- NOT into the church of God, BUT into the HEARTS of the people who professed to belong to the church of God -- (Helaman 3:33) And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And IF thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. (1 Kings 3:11-14) But to be learned is good IF they hearken unto the counsels of God. (2 Nephi 9:29) Satan will target are strengths if we are careless, casual and not careful just as he did with king Solomon. Use king Solomons example not to judge him unrighteously but to learn from it and use good WISDOM. Heres good wisdom ALWAYS REMEMBER THE 2 GREAT COMMANDMENTS... (Matthew 22:37-40) #Wisdom#Agency#PushOffTheNaturalMan#EasternHemisphere#HB#OldTestament#NewTestament#WesternHemisphere#BOM#AnotherTestament#D&C#POGP#LaioneBuilt
