Today's Scripture *June 2, 2008*
James 4: 7-10
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
How can you come close to God?
James gives five ways:
(1) Humble yourselves before God (4:7)
Yield to His authority and will. Commit your life to Him and His control, and be willing to follow Him.
(2) Resist the devil (4:7)
Don't allow Satan to entice and tempt you.
(3) Wash your hands..and purify your hearts (that is -- lead a pure life) (4:8)
Be cleansed from sin, replacing your desire to sin with your desire to experience God's purity.
(4) Let there be sorrow and deep grief for your sins (4:9)
Don't be afraid to express heartfelt sorrow for what you have done.
(5) Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will life you up in honor (4:10)
1 Peter 5:6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
Thank You God for showing us today how we can come close to You!
May we live humble, submitted lives to You! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
