No matter where you find yourself, be it in a position of honor, disrespect, or authority over creation, you should always avoid seeking for self-recognition, unnecessary praise and promotion; instead, see yourself as having been given equal rights as others who are made in the very image of God. If you express His love in humility, as He formed us of dust, this will surely lead you to a greater position of honor and glory which lasts; by the blood of the Lamb, eventually being exalted above all who are arrogantly proud of themselves.
Moreover, anyone who remains humble in the Spirit, will surely retain his or her honor, as a Child of God (Prov 29:23). So, let's avoid seeking for self-recognition and soaring in pity or praise from others, which only leads to a greater fall from the highest heights, yet as we continue to live on our knees before God and human-kind alike, acting in love; graced in true humility, we will always remain exalted, not by word only, but as ambassadors, positioned beside Jesus Christ, our LORD of Lords.
PRAYER: in Jesus' name, Heavenly Father, thank you for granting us humble hearts through the understanding of your Word, the Son of God, by the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, who leads us through the crowds, to a position of greatness and glory, as citizens of Your Heavenly Kingdom;
Amen.
From Luke 14:10-11
