Step One Before Step Two

There is an order in Kingdom living. 

So submit to the authority of God. Resist the devil, stand firm against him, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

 

 

Step One before Step Two


It is easy to be on the defensive in our journey.


I am not talking about being defensive but living a reactive versus a proactive life.


There is an order in Kingdom living. 


Submit, subject, come under God's authority first, then resist the devil.


We don't resist the devil and then submit to God because only the Holy Spirit empowers us to recognize the attack and then stand firm against it.


So, how might we order our lives?


How might you have been living reactively to circumstances and relationships?


What would living submitted to the power of God look like in your life?


Your will, Lord, not mine, be done. 


I trust You, Lord, with this life You have purchased and given back to me to live Your life through. Yes, Lord, for we have You, the treasure within our earthen vessels, these perishable bodies, to prove that this all-surpassing power is of You and not of ourselves. May we delight ourselves in You. Amen
