Give up getting what you want, and willingly receive all the good He gives. How should we respond when we realize we've been on the world's path again? This verse reveals the beginning of James's answer: submit to God again. In the previous verse, James wrote that God gives more grace. He opposes us in our pride when we live that way, but He doesn't reject us. God sees this as adultery, cheating on Him with the world. They believed God, but they refused to trust Him to provide good for them and to accept that He was still providing good when He withheld what they wanted most. They had committed themselves to getting what they wanted at all costs, even to the point of fighting with other believers. In the previous verses, James spelled out how his Christians readers had been living lives of worldly self-reliance, as many of us do at times. ![]()
