The Resistance

DAY 338
9-7-10
JAMES 1-5


Good Morning!

Satan is always on the attack. James writes about trials, temptations, poor relationships, immorality, dead faith, and wandering from the truth – and Satan is right in the middle of it all. Satan takes advantage of us when we suffer from sin and the world. A good, joyful attitude is helpful; but along with that we must submit to God and fight Satan.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

How do we get Satan out of our lives? How do we cause him to run away? When we submit to God; obey him and serve him; he helps us to resist Satan’s attacks. By submitting to God, Satan has no where to go but away. Submission causes us to pray in faith; sing songs of praise; and brings God’s healing.

Are you struggling? Submit to God and resist Satan; and watch how God will turn your struggles around and even bring joy back into your life.
