Best
7 So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: 8 “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; 9 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. Luke 14:7-9
How many of us look for the best seat at the movie theatre, sporting event, or even church. In some cases there are better seats than others at these events, but if you take a step back and think about it, how good is that seat. Does it give you the full picture, or does it place you in a position where everyone else can see you. A lot of us should take the example of humbling ourselves and taking a seat that is not the most prominent. I bet if you take a less prominent seat, that you will actually have the best seat because you can see everything and not be the focus of everything. Step back because none of us deserve the best seat.
This is the rest of the scripture if you were interested.
10 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. 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:10-11
Have a great weekend.
