The Lowest Seat

JUNE 13, 2023

But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
1 Samuel 18:16

 Recommended Reading: Luke 14:1, 7-11

“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Those words have been misattributed to the pop artist Andy Warhol who gained fame during the 1960s. During that decade especially, people gained and lost notoriety quickly. In fact, many sought fame, hoping it would last.

God often blesses people with success even when they aren’t seeking it. Men like Joseph, David, and Daniel were blessed and promoted by God because of their faithfulness. And each of them maintained a sense of humility in spite of their success. When Jesus was invited to a banquet, He observed some guests maneuvering to get the seats of honor at the table—and told a parable about a banquet in response. The point of the parable was this: If you promote and exalt yourself, the host may embarrass you by asking you to give up your seat for another. Better to take the lowest seat and be the one that the host invites to move higher (Luke 14:1, 7-11). 

If God grants you prominence, give Him thanks! But don’t seek it. Instead, seek faithfulness and humility, and let God bless you in His time and way.

The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
