VERSE OF THE DAY: JAMES 4:7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

DAILY SURRENDER What does it mean to be humble in our relationship with God? There are three things that apostle James mentions that can help us: submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to God.

SUBMIT TO GOD Submitting to God means coming under His authority. Rather than living according to our own desires and ways, we should submit those things to God and live according to His desires and standards In order to truly submit to God, we must first recognize that His ways are better than ours, and He knows better than we do. We must also believe that He has our best intentions in mind. He cares for us.

RESIST THE DEVIL The devil desires to keep us from our relationship with God and cause us to stay from Him. When we resist him with God's strength, he will flee from us.

DRAW NEAR TO GOD The best way to submit to God and resist the devil is to draw close to God in our relationship with Him. Not only does He promise to stay close to us, but He will also give us the strength and grace to endure every trial.

Take a moment to think about your own life. Are there parts of your life or plans that you haven't yet surrendered to God? Everyday is a new opportunity to submit ourselves to God and to draw near to Him.

BE ENCOURAGED Are your currently fighting a battle? Submit your situation to God and stand firm-in the mighty name of Jesus.

SHARE YOUR FAITH Invite someone to pray, worship, and read God's Word with you. This is how we fight out battles!

God, help me, You know the details of every good and hard thing in my life. I submit them all to You. Help me to stand firm in Your promises, and give me the strength to resist the enemy's schemes. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God, I want to honor You with every thought, idea, intention, and action. So today, I give You permission to change me. Let my whole life be one that honors You and brings You glory. You are holy and worthy of all my praise and adoration. My life is Yours! In Jesus' name, Amen.

ISAIAH 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

When worries start to overwhelm you, Imagine lifting up your eyes and seeing Jesus standing over you. Nothing is too hard for Him to handle. Give Him whatever concerns come to mind right now.

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-3 Is there are encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
