Worship into the Week
Luke 14: 7-11
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
That humble part?
We can identify it pretty easily
when it isn't working for another person.
A bit more challenging to see
the markers for ourselves.
There is such a human tendency
for "top dog" behaviors.
Jesus saw the need for reminding his followers
about the character trait.
And he could speak to the issue.
He traveled by lowly methods, without fanfare,
and kept
his eyes looking toward Jerusalem.
How easily it would have been to begin
to love the adulation of the crowds.
Dear Lord,
When my efforts go unnoticed,
and without acclaim,
help me to rest in the transformation
of the work of the Holy Spirit
to make me humble- like Jesus.
May I live in peace knowing that in God's time,
God deals out the equality measures.
Help me to only compare myself to Jesus.
Amen.
