It is in our human nature to natural to us due to our sinful nature to seek the best seat in the house
Have you ever noticed how people flock to celebrities and others who have accomplished something in life in hopes that they will receive something in return? Have you ever experienced someone that When someone famous comes through the people look like a flock of buzzards doing anything they can to either touch their hand in hopes that they could be included in that temporary moment of fame or to receive some type of notoriety because of whom they may claim they know.
What did Jesus teach us in Luke 14 verses 7 – 14 on humility? By majority our society seems to be fighting for that seat instead of following the Lords instruction in sitting in that place with less honor. Men and women have raised themselves up in their temporary fame in the media in such a way that they have forgotten who got them there and many have even fallen to pleasing the people instead of serving God.
It is important to recall that no man or woman in any position is any different than the other in the eyes of God. We are all sinners in the flesh and it is very important to insure that we never lose our perspective in separating ourselves from others. The Lord plainly teaches us that we never know who He will raise up to receive that seat of honor and it is not our place to try and take it on our own.
I challenge you today and every other day to examine your priorities to insure the seat that you are trying to reach. When in the will of God the seat we are given comes with humility in understanding our position. For when god brings something together no man can taketh apart…amen
