humility

Luke 14 

7 When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner 

were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, 

he gave them this advice: 

8 “When you are invited to a wedding feast, 

don’t sit in the seat of honor. 

What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? 

9 The host will come and say, 

‘Give this person your seat.’ 

Then you will be embarrassed, 

and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!

10 “Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. 

Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, 

‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ 

Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. 

11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, 

and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
