Everyone Who Exalts Himself (Luke 14:7-11 and 1 Kings 1)
Jesus said, "Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" (Luke 14 verse 11). This is one of the most common themes in Scripture: "God puts down one and exalts another" (Psalm 75 verse 6), "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up," (James 4 verse 10), "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time" (1 Peter 5 verse 6). Adonijah is a perfect Old Testament example of disobeying this teaching. First Kings 1 verse 5 says, "Adonijah exalted himself, saying, 'I will be king.'" He took the best place and had to give it up to someone more honorable than him: Solomon. Then with shame he had to take the lowest place (Luke 14 verses 7-10).

Day 1: Luke 14:7-11 cf. Mark 12:38-39, Psalm 75:6-7, James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:5-6, Philippians 2:3-4—Even though we might not care where we sit, how does Jesus’s parable apply to us?
