What is Right?
In Judges 17:6 & 21:25 it says there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. The reason everyone did their own thing was because there was no king.
The reason people do whatever they want is because there is no king in their lives. What is right and lawful and what should be done is determined by the king. Most of our problems in life come from either not having or disobeying the king.
Who Makes the Laws?
The Word tells us that God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Do we want resistance or grace?
James 4:1-12 tells us to submit to God. The Greek word from which this is translated is hupotasso and means to subordinate, to obey, be under obedience (obedient), put under, submit oneself unto.
We do the submitting. It is not done unto us. Too many people are busy figuring out how to resist the devil when they haven't submitted themselves to God first.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
The word here for resist is anthistemi - to stand against, oppose, resist, withstand.
Flee comes from the word, pheugo - to run away, to shun, to anish, escape, or flee (away)
The believer must do both: Submit to God and Resist the devil.
