James 4 · Grade 3
Humble Yourselves
Read the Story
James 4 asks, Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? You don’t have, because you don’t ask. You ask and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives.
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Do not speak against one another. Some people say, Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit. But you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Your life is like a vapor. Instead say, If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.
