When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted (Luke 14:8-11, NKJV).God loves us and wants the best for us. If we forget this, we can make the mistake of trying to ingratiate ourselves with others in an attempt to impress them with false humility. Trying to make ourselves look good before others can eventually lead to our own shame and humiliation; humbling ourselves before God lets Him put us where He wants us. “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up”(James 4:10).
