He gives more Grace.

"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: 'God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.' Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:6, 7 NKJV). Scripture says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you". That sounds easy, but it's not so easy in the days that we live in. Temptation floods just about everything. Man looks to everything from the television to the music on the radio and all the way to the Internet on the computer. The devil doesn't care. He'll flood everything with temptation. The devil will flood everything that could possibly turn your eyes away from Jesus Christ. How do we overcome temptation? Well, scripture says, "Submit to God." We must submit all we are to our God and obey His ways. We resist the devil by obeying God. When the devil sees that you have submitted to God, he will come after you with all that he can, try to tempt you, and hinder you, but the grace God has given to us through his Holy Spirit is stronger than any temptation. Grace will keep you in the arms of God, our Savior. We cannot overcome temptation without God. The humble receive the gift of grace, but God resists the prideful. There is no room for rebellion. There is no room for pride or disobedience. We must submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Praise God today, and God bless you all.
