How can I submit to God and resist the devil as James 4:7 commands

The Power of Submission and Resistance in James 4:7

James 4:7 offers believers a profound spiritual principle: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This verse highlights two essential actions—submission to God and resistance to the devil. These are not separate commands but intertwined keys to spiritual victory.

To submit to God means to yield our will, desires, and plans to His sovereign authority. This requires humility, acknowledging that His wisdom is far greater than ours. Submission is not a sign of weakness, but of strength—placing ourselves under God’s care and protection. When we surrender to Him, we are inviting His guidance, His peace, and His power into our lives.

Resisting the devil, on the other hand, involves actively standing against his temptations and schemes. Satan seeks to lure us away from God’s path through doubt, fear, and worldly desires. But we are not left defenseless. By drawing near to God through prayer, studying His Word, and relying on His strength, we have the power to resist the enemy’s attacks. The promise in James 4:7 is clear—when we resist, the devil will flee from us.

Confusion to Clarity | 1 Samuel 6

Are you trying to find your way from chaos and confusion to clarity?

Happy Father's Day, and welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller.

This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 6. I've titled this chapter "From Confusion to Clarity."

So far, in the story of 1 Samuel, we have been introduced to a few key figures, like Samuel and Eli, but rather quickly, we come upon a battle between the Philistines and the Israelites. Israel sustains devastating losses, and the Ark of God is taken. The problem for the Philistines is that the Ark of God proved to be a curse to them for about seven months. It tormented the five lords of the five cities with the Black Plague and severe hemorrhoids. The situation is so bad that their attention has turned from their victory over God to what to do with God.

The chapter we are reading this week chronicles how the Philistines rid themselves of the Ark of God and how the Israelites received the Ark of God. Through their experiences, we uncover some profound lessons on how both unbelievers and believers find their way through chaos and confusion to clarity.

The key verse of this chapter is verse 20, which reads:

"And the men of Beth-shemesh said, 'Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? And to whom shall he go up away from us?'" — 1 Samuel 6:20

If you read through the chapter, you will notice that it begins with big questions and ends with big questions. However, the questions at the beginning are very different from those at the end. The Philistines' initial question in verse two is: “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord?" The Israelites' final question in verse twenty is: "Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God?"

As we compare these questions, we can see three distinct differences. First, the nature of the questions is different. The Philistines are grappling with how to handle an object of God, while the Israelites are wrestling with the very nature of God. Second, the motivation behind the questions is different. The Philistines are driven by self-preservation, while the Israelites are motivated by self-renunciation. Third, the responses to the questions are different. The Philistines' response to God is superficial, while the Israelites' response is spiritual.

This chapter is bookended by two questions from two different people with two different responses that attempt to address the chaos and confusion in life. Eventually, the chapter concludes with one nation seeking clarity by ridding itself of God and the other finding clarity by returning to the reverence of God.

We all face moments of chaos and confusion. Through these times, we are confronted with the most profound questions we will ever have about God and his work in this life. These questions either guide you to rid yourself of God or to reverence of God. But if you rid yourself of God, you will never find the clarity you need through the chaos of this life. Chaos and confusion will come again. Permanent clarity is only found if you are willing to come to the end of yourself and submit to the heavy hand of the Holy God. In full submission of all we are to God we find the clarity we need through every time of chaos and confusion in this life. So if you need this today, submit to him.

God, on this Father's Day, we men submit our lives to you. We all have some form of chaos and confusion in our lives right now. We need your clarity and know this is only found bowed low before you. We are sons. You are the only Father. Lead the way we are ready to obey. Amen.

#FaithInChaos, #FindingClarity, #SubmitToGod

Ask This:

How do you typically respond to moments of chaos and confusion in your life? What steps can you take to ensure your response draws you closer to God rather than pushing Him away?

In what areas of your life do you need to submit more fully to God's authority? How can you practically begin to bow low before Him and seek His clarity in those situations?

Do This:

Submit to God.

Pray This:

Father, I surrender my chaos and confusion to You, seeking Your divine clarity and guidance. Help me trust in Your wisdom and revere You in every aspect of my life. Amen.

Play This:

I Surrender.

There must come a time when you stop fighting against the plans of God for your life and surrender completely to Him. #godsplans

We can find the plans God has for us when we surrender our plans to Him. #godswill

God loves you too much to force His plans on you, so all that He asks is for you to trust Him.

If you surrender your control for His will, get out of the way, and let God be God, He will make beauty from all of your ashes. #trustgodswill

Growing closer to God is not the result of “trying harder” but of surrendering more. #trustingodsplan

Surrendering to God is the best path to success because instead of Him becoming part of your plan, He will make you part of His plan. #submittogod

Often times, the more we surrender to God, the greater our ability to see His hand in our life. #godsplannotmine

Surrendering to God does not mean you are weak.

Surrendering means being strong enough to know that God has a better way. #godsplan

Surrender is not a one-time event.

It’s a daily choice. #godsplansarebetter

We find God’s plans when we surrender ours to Him each day.

It’s a moment-by-moment process. #godswillbedone

The surrender of our will to God’s will is in fact not surrender at all, but the beginning of a glorious victory. #notmywill

So long as we surrender the will to God, and trust in His strength and wisdom, we shall be guided in safe paths. #notmywillbutyours

You can’t do much with your control, but God can do it all with your surrender. #godswillnotmine

I share a warning. . Satan is extremely good at blocking spiritual communication by inducing individuals, through temptation, to violate the laws upon which spiritual communication is founded. . With some, he is able to convince them that they are not able to receive such guidance from the Lord. . With some, he is not able to convince them because they submit themselves to God as they hold strong on spiritual communication.

The Transformative Power of Humility A Lesson from James 4

Resisting the Devil: A Call to Action in James 4

In James 4:7, we are given a clear directive: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (KJV). This verse highlights the spiritual battle that every believer faces and offers a powerful strategy for overcoming temptation.

The first step is submission to God. Before we can resist the devil, we must place ourselves under the authority of God. This means surrendering our desires, plans, and ambitions to His will, trusting that His ways are higher than our own.

Resisting the devil requires vigilance. The devil seeks to tempt us through pride, selfishness, and worldly desires. But when we submit to God, we are equipped with the spiritual armor to stand firm against these attacks. By aligning our will with God’s and seeking His strength, we can overcome the enemy’s schemes.

The promise in James 4:7 is clear: when we resist the devil, he will flee. This does not mean we will never face temptation again, but it assures us that, with God’s help, we have the power to overcome.

Daily Devos!! 9-1-18

JAMES 1:13-15

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself DOES NOT TEMPT ANYONE. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has CONCEIVED, it gives birth to SIN; and when sin is ACCOMPLISHED, it brings forth DEATH.

1 Corinthians 10:13

There is NO temptation that has overtaken you except what is COMMON to man.

But GOD IS FAITHFUL,

Who will NOT allow you to be tempted BEYOND what you can bear but will with the temptation, provide a way out so that you may be able to WITHSTAND IT.

1 Peter 1:6-7 New International Version (NIV)

6 In all this you GREATLY REJOICE, though now for a little while you may have had to SUFFER GRIEF in ALL kinds of TRIALS. 7 These have come so that the PROVEN GENUINENESS of your FAITH—of GREATER WORTH than gold, which PERISHES even though REFINED by FIRE—may result in PRAISE, GLORY and HONOR when Jesus Christ is REVEALED!

Matthew 5:17-48 New Living Translation (NLT)

Teaching about the Law

17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

20 “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

Teaching about Anger

21 “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’[a] 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone,[b] you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot,[c] you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone,[d] you are in danger of the fires of hell.[e] 23 “So if you are presenting a sacrifice[f] at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25 “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.[g]

Teaching about Adultery

27 “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’[h] 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 So if your eye—even your good eye[i]—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your hand—even your stronger hand[j]—causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Teaching about Divorce

31 “You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’[k] 32 But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.

Teaching about Vows

33 “You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’[l] 34 But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. 35 And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

Teaching about Revenge

38 “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’[m] 39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. 40 If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. 41 If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile,[n] carry it two miles. 42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.

Teaching about Love for Enemies

43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’[o] and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies![p] Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends,[q] how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is #perfect.
