Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-21

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

There is something about submitting to God that changes our lives.

And on the flip side, in order to wholly submit to Him, we need to have reached a place in our lives where we have recognized His sovereignty, and we understand that His ways are higher than ours.

As the verse above says, if we submit to God, we will have no trouble resisting temptation.

But it goes much deeper than that.

You see, if we submit to God, our lives will take on a new direction. Why? Because our perspective changes.

We no longer live solely to please ourselves. We now give Him preferential eminence and put Him first in everything that we do, including the choices we make each day.

This comes with maturity in Christ.

Through submitting to Him we will be humbled. And it’s that humility that allows us to put ourselves aside and put Him first. Our pride eventually melts away, becoming a distant memory.

This is something that impacts every aspect of our lives. It’s not just about respecting Him or giving Him reverence. It spills over onto everything we do and everything we say.

So, if you’re struggling in certain areas of your life, consider submitting wholly to Him. It will put you on the right track in your walk with Him. And that will help everything else to eventually fall into place as well.
