"God resists the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up" (James 4:6-10).
We shouldn't think that it is odd
That Satan will not flee or fear,
Unless we first submit to God,
And in humility draw near.
This is Satan's greatest dread;
He's not afraid of you and me!
Submit to God; do what He said.
Resist the devil; then he'll flee!
We have no power of our own
To put to flight the hosts of hell,
But when we're humbled at God's throne,
The devil flees, and all is well!
O Lord, we thank You for the grace
That to the humble You impart.
So may the devil find no place
Of sinful pride within our heart.
