Bible Commentary

Proverbs 7:26

No one is immune to temptation through their own strength. Many strong, capable people have been destroyed by the path this chapter warns against.

Memory phrase: No one is strong enough to face temptation alone.

Talk about it: Why do you think even strong and capable people sometimes make terrible mistakes?

Prayer: God, help me not be overconfident. I need Your help to stand strong against temptation.
