Thursday - 8/30 - Read James 4:1-12
On Sunday we learned that this "humility" looks like the action statements of vv. 7-9.
Submission to God is the first step (v. 7a) in activating humility in our lives. Why?
Resisting the devil literally means to "stand against" the devil. How can you do this? Do you believe God's promise that the devil will flee if you do?
How intimate are you with God? Intimacy takes time as we're in the presence of another person. Is this true of you and God?
How can you improve this intimacy with God?
Personal purity includes the idea of confessing and forsaking sin in our lives. Why does this activate humility in our lives?
V. 9 talks about a brokeness before God. How can this response be appropriate especially when we are struggling with sin or worldliness in our lives?
Read Isa. 1:18; Mt. 26:26-29 for next Sunday
