James 4:6-7

James 4:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you.
James 4:6-7 New Life Version (NLV)
6 But He gives us more loving-favor. For the Holy Writings say,
“God works against the proud but gives loving-favor to those who
have no pride.” 7 So give yourselves to God. Stand against the
devil and he will run away from you.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
6 God will provide all the grace we need and while we shouldn’t
openly choose sin but try to walk away from sin when we do sin
we have God’s grace. God’s grace isn’t an excuse for sin but the
hope for sin, a hope that never runs out. We have to just come
to Him for grace, we have to admit we need His grace; many will
face hell because they were too prideful to admit they needed
Jesus.
7 We are to give our all to Jesus knowing He wants fellowship
with us but we are the ones who need Him. It is only thru the
power of the Lord that we can stand against sin and the devil.
The devil will flee us if we seek Christ, we also can fight our
own flesh if we desire Jesus.
