For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
Luke 14:11 CSB
We can see this illustrated throughout all of history. And, this puts Jesus in direct opposition to the philosophy of many in history. Jesus speaks against the idea of self-promotion. We are to have a good reputation, and be respectful and respectable. But to be selfishly ambitious is not consistent with His teaching.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your help and love. Your supply is exactly what we actually need, rather than what we think we want. You know us better than we know ourselves. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, and goodness! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
