Submit to God

By Albert Weeks

ALBERT WEEKS
If we would succeed in the Christian life, we must submit to God in everything. Our wisdom unaided is foolishness; our strength alone is weakness. God gives grace to help, and through that comes wisdom to know, and power to do, the will of God. That grace, however, can not be given to those who are not humble: “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:6, 7.
True humility before God places us where the power of God may be exercised in our behalf. As Satan can not stand before the power of the Almighty, he is defeated, and the child of God has gained a victory. Thank God for the means of success in the warfare with the enemy of all righteousness.
