Waiting upon the Lord to be invited
“to the table” in life can have many different personal applications. This is a
challenge in our lives when the continual message of our society is to “make it
happen.” It sounds so right to be determined and make it happen. But is it what
the Lord wants?
“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
