—James 4:1-10
by: Kay Samuels.
There is a standard that we are expected to live up to that is different for the world. The way of the world is to be proud; having or showing a high or excessively high opinion of oneself or one’s importance. God’s way is the exact opposite. We should submit to God and resist the devil. Submission to God says, “I will do whatever you say Lord, even if it does not give me recognition.” Many of us struggle with being humble, but it is a quality we must develop. It comes with great benefits. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up” (v.10, NIV). I want Your favor, Lord!
