James 4:7

‘And resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.’

As a consequence of this submission they will be resisting the Devil and he will flee from them, as Satan fled from before Joshua (after Zechariah 3:3 Satan drops out of sight and is heard of no more). Notice that the way in which we are always to resist Satan when it is a question of dealing with the pride of life and the friendship of the world is by submission to God. Then all Satan can do is run. While for His people all the glories of the world will seem as nothing when their eyes are on God.
