SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 14:7-11

Don't Make Yourself Important

⁷ When Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit, he told this story: ⁸ "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, don't take the most important seat, because someone more important than you may have been invited.⁹ The host, who invited both of you, will come to you and say, 'Give this person your seat.' Then you will be embarrassed and will have to move to the last place.¹⁰ So when you are invited, go sit in a seat that is not important. When the host comes to you, he may say, 'Friend, move up here to a more important place.' Then all the other guests will respect you. ¹¹ All who make themselves great will be made humble, but those who make themselves humble will be made great."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
