It's true that we all have our
feet embedded in the solid
Foundation which is Christ
himself. But some Christians
of course have grown into a
state of self-centered living where
some things, if studied critically
are seen to be based on their strength.

So here we have a similar
instance in the Corinthian church.
These people were perhaps
having a way of life that Paul
observed to be self-centered.
He did not see Christ in what
they supposed to be doing.
Does that mean they were not
speaking about their dependence
of the Lord? Absolutely not. It's one
of the basic beliefs that we hold
on right at the onset of our
jouney- that is to put everything
into the hands of God for him
to lord over our lives.

This is a state that I don't
want to ever find myself in.
To think that I stand. Note
that the verse does not necessarily
refer to those who stand, but
those who think that they
stand. That's the key point
in this text. To think that you
stand is to see yourself in your
own strength.
