S ~ And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:6-7

O ~ It actually says "The Lord mocks the mockers" or "The Lord scorns the scornful" (Proverbs 3:34). Mocking and scorn give a very strong picture of how the Lord resists the proud. Immediately following the revelation that God opposes the proud and enables the humble, we are instructed to resist the devil. The devil will continually attempt to trap us in pride - which is not limited to arrogance or boasting, but rather presses us into self focus.

A ~ Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less - C.S. Lewis.  It's not about me! 

P ~ Lord, please pour our Your generous grace upon me, that I may resist the devil by walking in humility. The very act of humility is resistance.
