Submission to God is Essential to Battling Temptation

Last updated on: October 8, 2024 at 4:13 pm By Michele Howe

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4: 7, 8 In any battle against temptation, submission to God is essential. James, in his usual succinct style, tells fellow Christians that they must submit themselves to God first and foremost. As Christians bow their knee (both literally and figuratively) to God in submission and for help, he answers. James writes,... Read more

Suffering Reveals What We Believe

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and by night, but I have no rest. Yet you are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them. To You they cried out and were delivered; in You they trusted and were not... Read more

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. Psalm 108: 3-6,... Read more

Words Kill – Words Give Life

The tongue has the power of life and death, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 One of the most important tools we can learn in this life is to grow into a good listener. What, you may ask, does listening have to do with speaking words that bring life rather than kill another’s spirit? A great deal. Consider the most recent conversation you had with someone when you felt understand and respected. I... Read more

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 26: 3, 4 Yesterday I received a text alerting me that my oldest daughter was in a car accident which by no fault of hers completely totaled her car. An elderly man pulled out in front of her and though she immediately pressed on the brakes she... Read more

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 4-7 In this 24 hour space of time, which will prevail in your heart and...

Experiences Cannot Override the Truth

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 It’s been interesting to me that more often than ever before in my Christian journey, I’ve been hearing believers are giving more weight to their experiences as more valid than the truth taught throughout the Bible. This is a frightening position to hold... Read more

Embed from Getty Images Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37: 3, 4 Today is an ordinary day. And I am grateful for all that this word, “ordinary” implies.
