Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over against another.  (1 Corinthians 4:6).

So, what is written about Man?

Well, there’s the “There’s no one righteous; not even one,” part in Psalm 14.

And the bit in Genesis 6 about how, “Every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.”

And, you know, pretty much any part of the book of Judges.

David fell.

And Solomon

Of course Saul before that…

Yep, Scripture is pretty much chock full of examples of why trusting in Man is not such a good idea.

So don’t.

Happy Monday, Beloved
