A Submitted Mind

Philippians 2:5

“Let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus.”

Simply put, we should have the very attitudes and actions that we see in Christ Jesus - selfless, sacrificial and serving. Paul is calling all of us to a daily lifestyle of maintaining a mind submitted to Jesus Christ or (as this hymn says) we could wonder away.

O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! 
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart. O take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above.

The Truth

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,

Live in me from day to day,

By His love and power controlling

All I do and say. - unknown
