Wigs Word of God Today 9-1-2013
When you are invited, go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may say, ‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’ Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:10-11
Sirach 3:17-29, Psalm 68, Hebrews 12:18-24 & Luke 14:1-14
The places in life are established by humility excusing self-desires to fortify the yearnings of charity across all planes of society. We can take seats of honor in heaven Jesus explained by taking the lowest status in the roll call of life in the hardest of places exemplifying the humility of Charity’s Truth seen in the appearance who need the banquet the most. This type of love money can’t buy where the smells of humanity come from the innards of one’s bowels caused by mistakes of addictive lifestyles. Jesus asks us to seek out these and give them more than money or food but conversation and a hug.
We can identify with the contempt of life chained to the excuses of self-pleasure sharing Truth asking for nothing in return. I know the Bible is difficult to understand and the Old Testament seems out of date but the Bible is the testament of the Messiah reaping Salvation for those who believe. The places of honor are given to those who served God’s Purpose of God’s Only Son. It is Jesus Who guides us to the Way of Truth provided by the Word of God. We must take the place where we are needed the most realized only in God’s Word to give us faith wanting to share Christ’s hope by the love He warms you for charity. Amen.
We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to take our place in life according to Your Will LORD. Novena prayers day two for Sabina Romero. Novena prayers day six for my mom. Novena prayers day nine for Laura’s mother Ada in Israel. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 69:33-34, I chant- See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, take heart! For the LORD hears the poor, and does not spurn those in bondage.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
I am yours in Christ,

Ephesians 6:17-20
No way to pay is the place blessing you reap– Luke 14:1-14
Pharisees leading asked Jesus to dine
Arriving quiet Jesus found the time
To tell a Parable I pray in kind
Carefully Him observing places of honor we can find
You’d hate to take a place of status
Removed in shame by words apparatus
Embarrassment your place advancement
Place lowest you take in announcement
Of the host who will share his blessing’s taste
Position higher by your humility’s face
Esteem from others seems such a waste
Jesus reminded to invite the lowly to this place
A banquet of honor not for brother or son
Not the wealthy who bathe on the run
Repayment forgotten by charity’s fun
The blind poor crippled lame person most always shun
No way to pay is the place blessing you reap
Inability to foster love without question we keep
The righteous sharing Truth for those who are weak
Resurrection will repay the deed we intentionally seek
