Scripture: "'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...For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” ' Luke 14:9,11 (NIV) Application: How wonderful it is that Jesus knows our human nature. Being Human, He understands the temptation to be exalted. It feels great being first, honored, and special. Even with this knowledge, Jesus tells us there's a better feeling. Humility. Being humble means not being embarrassed or publicly demoted because we put ourselves out front. Being humble means getting our reward from the Lord, not man. Prayer: We pray that we will follow Your teaching toward humility, dear Lord Jesus. Amen. Comments are closed.
