“When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Luke 14:8-11 NIV)
Let God do the Promoting
While others are running to take the high position of status, you ought to take the low. Are you looking to serve God or self? Born-again believers are to have the heart of a servant. Examine yourself. Refrain from self-promotion. Humility will save you the embarrassment of being asked to give your seat to someone deemed more important than you. Allow God to chart your course and He will exalt you in due time.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. Have a blessed stress free worry free day on purpose, and never stop believing Jesus paid it all.
