MORE ON (That's two words): Humility

Dottie asked a great question Sunday morning--"What's the relationship between submission and humility?"
Submission is a relationship word; it always has an object. You can't submit without a person or thing to submit to.
Humility is an attitude, a mind-set, an orientation, probably seen most clearly in Philippians 2:1-5.
Submission is humility harnessed and ready to work, work that will bear fruit because the worker knows and loves (and lives) his or her place in God's plan.
