The greatest enemy to conquer is the traitor within.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"A fortress isn’t safe as long as it harbors an enemy inside."
You can bolt all your doors and secure all your windows, but if even a small child inside can unlock them, the house is still vulnerable. All the water in the ocean can’t sink a ship until it gets inside. So, our greatest danger comes from
within. All the devils in Hell and the temptations on Earth couldn’t harm us if our nature weren’t corrupt. Sadly, our hearts are our greatest enemies—this is the little traitor living within us.

Oh, I love to think that when we release the truth in the power of the Spirit, we never know where it will end up. A child might blow on one of those fluffy seeds with its own parachute, sending it into the air—who knows where it will land and in whose
garden it will grow? But it will certainly take root and flourish. Such is the power of truth, even from the mouths of babes.
