Exalt Yourself and Be Humbled…

Humility…

Luke 14:7-11
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 “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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

I love these versus. What a practical message that Jesus plainly gives us. The incredible idea with humility is, if you speak of your humility, then it’s lost.

Let others exalt you as a humble person, do not seek it. Just allow the Holy Spirit to work from the inside out.

Lord, we love you. Please continue to work in our lives and encourage us to build a stronger relationship with you. Thank you for your finished work on the cross and the forgiveness of all sin.

Amen.
