The Lowest Place

Take the lowest place at the table when given a choice.
Never assume you’re the greatest, think twice.
It's easy to want to have all the attention,
the attitude of "look at me."
But God's servants go lower than that.
They humble themselves before many.

See, when you think so highly of yourself 
you can't see others.
It's like you’re standing in a room full of people 
but your vision is blocked by mirrors.
Yes, all you see is YOU, all you think about is yourself.
And all the while the people's needs 
are being overlooked and never helped.

So put the mirror down and start looking at the harvest!
Focus on what others need and you'll always stay on target!

When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: “When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table! 

“Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” 

Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.”
