Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.
James 4:7-8 (NIV)
Temptation seems to be everywhere lately because I don't have much to do. Summer is a lazy time. So I end up going out, spending money - which is ok to a point. But it's like the old adage, "Idle hands are the devil's playground." I feel like I could be doing more with my life, but I'm not. This passage is about how to keep that from happening.
How do we submit ourselves to God? Come near to God. Seems like that means spending more time doing churchy stuff, and less doing stuff we know we shouldn't. Simple? Yes, but it's a good start. Talking about verses (or writing about them - or reading about them) is a good way to focus our thoughts on God for a little while during the day.
Spend some time with God today.
