God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The strength of temptation also comes from a tendency to push virtues to such an extreme that they become vices. For example, it is all too easy for the joy of eating to become gluttony, or for the blessing of rest to become sloth, or for the peace of quietness to become non-communication, or for industriousness to become greed, or for liberty to be turned into an excuse for licentiousness. We all know what it’s like for pleasure to become sensuality, or for self-care to become selfishness, or for self-respect to become conceit, or for wise caution to become cynicism and unbelief, or for righteous anger to become unrighteous rage, or for the joy of sex to become immorality, or for conscientiousness to become perfectionism. The list could go on endlessly…
Do you believe? 'I believe,' says one, and he begins to repeat what they call the 'Apostles’ Creed.' Hold your tongue, sir! That matters not; the devil believes that, perhaps more intelligently than you do; he believes and trembles. That kind of believing saves no man. You may believe the most orthodox creed in Christendom, and perish. Do you trust - for that is the cream of the word 'believe' - do you trust in Jesus? Do you lean your whole weight on Him? Have you that faith which the Puritans used to call 'recumbency' or 'leaning'? This is the faith that saves - faith that falls back into the arms of Jesus, a faith that drops from its own hanging-place into those mighty arms.
