The spirit of submission is choosing His way over ours for His sake.

Every Christian leader should have this engraved in his subconscious. No matter what you do, never take yourself too seriously God always chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He shows his might only on the behalf of those who trust in Him. Humility is the place where all christian service begins.

It is a lifelong choice to deliberately and habitually bring ourselves under God’s authority.
