Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. — Philippians 2:23
Source Coverage: Philippians 2:23-24
Paul expresses his desire to send Timothy soon, depending on how things unfold with his situation. But we also see Paul’s heart-he wanted to come himself. He longed to see their condition firsthand.
Yet Paul submits to the Lord’s will. If he cannot go, Timothy will go. This shows a willingness to follow God’s plan, even when it differs from personal desire.
