PRO-VERBS 25:6-7 Called Up...Or Put Down

Hello all

"Do NOT exalt yourself in the presence of the king. And do not STAND in the place of the great...forit is better that he say to you...COME UP HERE...than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince...Whom your eyes have seen." (Pro-Verbs 25:6-7)

The natural tendancy is to claw your way to the top...toot your own horn...shamless self promotion...jockey for position...BUT the in the Kingdom...it is upside down to our way of thinking.

In I Peter we see...that we should "be SUBMISSIVE to one another...and be clothed with HUMILITY." (I Peter 5:5) The reason being is quoted from PRO-VERBS 3:34..."God RESISTS the PROUD...but gives GRACE to the humble." (I Peter 5:5; Pro-verbs 3:34)

I Peter 5:6 kicks off with "THEREFORE"...referring back to the previous verses..."Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God...that He may EXALT YOU IN DUE TIME/AT THE PROPER TIME." (I Peter 5:6)

This brings us back to Pro-verbs 25:6-7...we will be be lowered or elevated. If we lower ourselves...UNDER the might hand of God...we will be exalted...CALLED UP at the proper time.
