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
The certain way to overcome pride and defeat the spirit of envy, strife, and contention is to submit ourselves to God!
- To his will regarding gifts, talents, and earthly possessions.
- To leave it to God to make us what he would have us to be.
- To leave it to God to prosper us or empty us, to honor us or humble us.
- To wait on the Lord. “Waiting, I waited for his will to be revealed.”
Solomon said, “He that maketh haste to be rich shall suffer” (Prov.28:20, 22).
