Resist
6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:6-8
Resisting sin is not easy. Sin is prevalent among us daily around every corner that we turn and sin influencers are on every media device we have. We have become a generation that seeks the things quickly that supposedly make us feel better for that short period. That is where we are wrong in our thinking. We cannot be looking for those things that make us feel better for a short time, but those things that make us feel better for a much longer period of time. Those things typically include putting God at the center of our life, and coming near to Him as the scripture states. If we do these things, and resist the enemy's promptings to sin we can easily be shown favor by God. The resistance is a step we need to focus on daily.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
