SUBMIT TO GOD*

*SUBMIT TO GOD*

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

_Bible Insight:_

There is a certain attitude that does not submit to God. And James strongly rebukes this attitude in the passage. James is addressing the attitude that is boastful and arrogant. He calls this evil. 

Even though in our culture we don’t like people who boast, all of us boast in our hearts. Boasting reveals what our heart finds confidence and security in. It shows what’s important to us, what we value and what we live for. On the surface it looks like good planning, hard work and being diligent. But deep down in our hearts, it is an attitude that is wise in its own eyes, foolish, arrogant and proud. 

This attitude does not recognize that God is sovereign and in control, but instead relies on self-confidence and self-reliance. It is foolish behavior. And this foolishness results in selfish behavior. 

James warns us that though we might think we are in control of our lives, the reality is that life is fragile. We are like a mist that appears and disappears. Our life is fleeting. We will be soon forgotten. Nothing we do or keep is forever. It will waste away and rot. 

A life that submits to God recognizes this feeble and fleeting nature of life. It is recognized in the transient and temporal nature of earthly pursuits, and seeks and invests in eternal and glorious pursuits.
