An Ego Is A No-Go

                                                  Luke 14:11
                               "For whosoever exalteth himself shall
                                    be abased; and he that humbleth
                                          himself shall be exalted"

        If you want to honor God, never try to be God.  An ego can become idolatry all on its own.  Jesus said that you demonstrate an honest humility by watching were you place yourself in public places.  Jesus used a banquet to describe  the struggle for advancement by where you set.  The rule is this: "Never switch place cards.  Never assume that you are important enough to squeeze in among the dignitaries at the head table.  Enjoy the less noticeable table to the rear.  Then you will never have to hear a forceful usher say, "Mister, I believe you would find it more comfortable somewhere in the rear of the building."  Find a seat there in the first place, there is always plenty of room in the back.
        Let you heart be the usher at every grand occasion.  Do not trust your pride.  Pride may deceive you into believing you should sit higher in the halls of ego.  Your heart having been near to Jesus, knows better how to evaluate your importance.   AMEN!!
