UPSIDE DOWN
Luke 14:11
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Personal Challenges
Many of the teaching of Christ, appear to be upside down compared to the teachings of the world. This makes sense when you acknowledge that our enemy, Satan, has one goal in mind, to keep as many people away from God as possible. In the world, people who push their way to the top, irregardless of how many people they impact along the, are the ones that are glorified and idolized. In God's perspective, however, He wants the opposite. He wants us to humble ourselves and put others first. If we view this through our temporal, worldly eyes, then it looks ludicrous. But in the greater scheme of eternity it is laying up our rewards in heaven and helping those around us in this life. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
