The Lowest Place

So, Jesus says, when you’re invited to a banquet, don’t walk up to the head table and sit at the chief place, because you’ll be embarrassed when somebody comes along and says,

“But the speaker’s going to sit here, you take a place over there in the corner.”

So, Jesus says, when you go, take the lowest place. Very wise. When you’re at the bottom, there’s only one way you can go. That’s up.

“He that is down need fear no fall. He that is low, no pride. He that is humble ever shall have God to be his God.”

See, when you’re on the floor, you’re safe. There’s no lower you can go. Very rarely do I minister in a large public gathering like this without first taking my place on the floor on my face before God. Before these meetings, Ruth and I were there for quite a long while. That’s where I feel really safe is on the floor.
