Humble yourself before God.

One thing that disconnects many believers from God is pride. It makes us vulnerable to satan’s attacks. Since pride was the devil’s downfall, he also wants it to be ours. He will do everything in his power to use it in his warfare against us. Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.” Yet, James teaches us the opposite. One great reminder from James is “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Therefore, it’s so important to humble ourselves before God. Those who put the world first don’t think sin is a big deal. As a result, satan can play a significant role in their daily lives. This is why we are encouraged to take sin seriously and kneel before God.
