Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “specter.” I love the book of James because the dude
pretty much just lays it all out there. He tells us that it is imperative that
we stay away from sin and anything that can trip us up and take away from our
relationship with God. He realizes the
need for repentance, and to be in sync with the actions consistent with what it
means to grow as a Christian. And so, in
this passage he tells them a very simple and effective way to stay out of trouble…
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.” ~Jam 4:7
My question is: are you doing the thing you need to stay
away from trouble? Resisting can be as easy and not putting yourself in a
position to do something wrong. One of
my mentors said that applying wisdom to one’s life is easy… “Just think of
something stupid, and then don’t do it.” I love this. How many times do we find
ourselves in situations or relationships that are not good and know that we
need to make a change… but we don’t! My prayer is that you take inventory of
your life and find a way to resist the Evil One today.
Praying for you,
MO
