Humility Cures Worldliness

James 4

Humility Cures Worldliness
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

If we all heed this advice, we could send the devil packing....as the defeated criminal he is.  He hangs around us because he perceives opportunity to derail us from the will and path of YahWeh.  This threat should be taken seriously. At times of weakness, clouded judgment, anger, despair, loneliness, and confusion, he seeks to creep into our lives and wreak havoc.  It is at these times we are most vulnerable.  It is at these times we must walk out on faith that Jesus we come to our aid! In these moments, praising God is the best remedy to thwart the evil plot of the devil. He doesn't want you to praise God when you're down! He wants the opposite to occur, which ultimately drives a wedge between us and the Holy Trinity.

Start praising God, whether times are good/, happy/sad. Lift up Jesus and He will in turn do the same for you.

Amen!
