The one who invited both of you may come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then in humiliation, you will proceed to take the lowest place.
Luke 14:9 CSB
The humiliation of moving to a lower place was surely something the Pharisees would seek to avoid! But their sense of personal worth put them in jeopardy of it all the time. Jesus is seeking to help them understand wisdom, something that was often lost on them.
Heavenly Father, we will always find ourselves humiliated when we promote our wisdom over Yours. You have given us the truth not to humiliate us, but to humble us. It is we who fail to see the difference. Your Word and Your Way are perfect and a great blessing to see, know, and follow! Thank You for Your mighty hand and glorious wisdom. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
