“Submit yourselves, therefore unto God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
To submit to God is to bring all things to Him in prayer and acknowledge His need for help. It is to trust Him for His help and to thank Him for things unseen. It is acknowledging that He will work all things together for our good, at all times and in all situations. In addition to submission to our Lord, we must be able to recognize the evil of the devil and be able to withstand his evil influences in our lives. We must stand firm in our faith and listen to the Holy Spirit of God. We must be able to push back on the evil thoughts of the evil one and use the name of Jesus as our shield in times of stress. When we do these things, our lives will be rewarded with the calmness and peace of mind that our Lord provides to us daily. We are not promised a peaceful and calm life to be our companion every moment of everyday. We will be confronted with obstacles and things of the evil one. But a faith that is grounded in Jesus will always overcome any oppression that tries to overtake us.
PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
