The entry for today in the Devotional "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is one to take very seriously! Here is a portion of it:
You may have just victoriously gone through a great crisis, but now be alert about the things that may appear to be the least likely to tempt you. Beware of thinking that the areas of your life where you have experienced victory in the past are now the least likely to cause you to stumble and fall.
We are apt to say, “It is not at all likely that having been through the greatest crisis of my life I would now turn back to the things of the world.” Do not try to predict where the temptation will come; it is the least likely thing that is the real danger. It is in the aftermath of a great spiritual event that the least likely things begin to have an effect. They may not be forceful and dominant, but they are there. And if you are not careful to be forewarned, they will trip you. You have remained true to God under great and intense trials— now beware of the undercurrent. Do not be abnormally examining your inner self, looking forward with dread, but stay alert; keep your memory sharp before God. Unguarded strength is actually a double weakness, because that is where the least likely temptations will be effective in sapping strength. The Bible characters stumbled over their strong points, never their weak ones.
I especially like that last statement! It was Samson's strength that attracted trouble, and also not treasuring the Source of it! David was at his very best when he was in the midst of his trial, with Saul pursuing him. He trusted in the LORD his God more than any other time! Once he was crowned king and things were going well, he was distracted and got into trouble! The moment you celebrate the victory over tests, trials and temptations, refocus on HIM! Spending time in His presence every day will keep you in great position to hear His voice and avoid trouble! Amen! Here is Hillsong United with "You Are My Strength":Shalom in Him!
