I find it interesting that the issue of humility is addressed in both contexts (passages). Pride is definitely a powerful weapon in the hands of Satan.
Proverbs 11:2 "When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom." Think of Adam and Eve hiding in shame after their act of pride and attempt to overthrow God's rule.
Submission and faith (according to Peter and James) are the means of resistance to the devil.
