(Now the man Moses was very meek,
above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) Numbers 12:3
It is best not to assume.
Some of the people Jesus spoke of did not please Him.
We can’t take Jesus for granted or take a seat at the table.
We wait for His invitation.
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee,
Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee,
Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them
that sit at meat with thee. Luke 14:8-10
Let us not give ourselves positions of honor in God’s kingdom.
Think of others better than yourselves.
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?
is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Luke 22:27
This all does not mean that God does not want us to draw near to Him.
On the contrary: All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37
He draws us, let Him be in charge and don’t assume a position.
Remain pliable and humble.
