Jim's Devotional - October 16th

Another way to stay spiritually sharp is to be in submission to the Father and to others.

James 4:7, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” We are in the Kingdom of God. The word “kingdom” means “the dominion of the King.” As we live our lives submitted to the King of Kings, we will stay sharp.

We also have believing friends in which we can trust to help us. Proverbs 27:17 Solomon said,
“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” We need to have believing and faithful friends who will hold us accountable to our progress in the journey in the Kingdom. Ephesians 5:21 says, “submitting to one another in the fear of God”

Let’s all be a friend and have friends that will love us enough to tell us the truth.
