James 4:7 (NIV)
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.
Let's admit it. Most of us would like for spiritual growth
to be easy. We want our ability to withstand temptation to require little
effort. We want the Holy Spirit to do the work and God to protect us from too
much stress and strain. Thankfully, God does empower us through his Holy
Spirit. However, he does remind us that for the Spirit to work powerfully in
our lives, we must intentionally submit our wills to God and we must resist the
devil. If we will put up a fight against him and his temptations, he will flee
from us. Let's do our part, trusting that God will more than uphold his
promises!
Thought for today:
Do I /Can I recognize which entity I am serving? (Cannot serve two masters Matt:
6:24)
