What joy there is in submission to the leading of the Lord.

We find in our Scriptures this morning (Phil 2:19-30) three men of God walking in submission to the leading of God’s Spirit. This submissive mind is what the mind of Christ4 is all about.

As I prepared this lesson, how I have enjoyed “walking” with Paul, Timothy, and Epaphroditus this week. How sweet to listen to them speak of one another in such tender ways.

To have a submissive mind requires making correct mental choices. It requires a vertical, heavenly perspective. A submissive mind refreshes our Master Jesus.

Therefore, submit to God in all things. That is a key to having peace and joy in your life.
