The wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive… (James 3:17).

Submissive?

Why submissive?  That makes me feel so weak. Who in their right mind would ever —

Your attitude should be that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And, being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:6-11).

…Oh…

Walk in submission, Beloved.

You’ll be in good company.
