Humble Yourself

Luke 14:7-11 NKJV
So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “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.”

Proverbs 25:6-7 NIV
Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence, and do not claim a place among his great men; it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,” than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.

Proverbs 27:2 NIV84
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.

Lord, I am nothing without You.
Lord, I can do nothing without You.
Lord, I become nothing without You.
- JSS
