SOAP: eating humility

S - But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. — Luke 14:10-11 (ESV)

O - Jesus has such practical advice for our relationships and souls. He guards us well from foolish behavior as well as an arrogantly corrupt soul. Here is an invitation to the freedom of humility.

A - I am far to envious. Pushing. Wanting. My Shepherd invites me to lay it down. Enjoy the feast he has prepared for me.

P - Thank you Lord for this invitation to humility. Help me take a seat at the end of the table. I'm grateful that you take care of me.
