“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”James 4:7 NLT
This scripture is a small gem in a chapter where James is unleashing on godless behaviour. He talk about fights for what we want without correct praying, love of the world putting us in enmity with God and more. Yet, even in His rebuke there is profound truth and wisdom.
Rather than fighting and living as if we belong in the world we need to firstly humble ourselves before God and secondly resist the devil who is the trouble maker .
Our enemy the devil fills our minds with accusations against our brothers and sisters. He is trying to gain ground in our heart. We must recognise the lies, humble ourselves and pray for our brothers and sisters. They need our prayers not accusations. Remember we do not work for Satan, he is our for not friend. He is probably in the other person’s mind also sowing discord. Throw him out! Amen!
