The funniest, in an awesomely cool way, command in the bible

James 4:7 "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

This command is the funniest verse in all of scripture to me, because I imagine it in real imagery. I'm having a conversation with Dad, and the devil comes by, being ignorant, interrupting, and I just stay cool, and resist, and keep having that conversation with Dad, and I mention the blood of Jesus, and the dude runs off. Awesome!

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit. “Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the one who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?’"
