Wait to be invited up

We all desire to be in the position of honor, favor, respect, and/or importance. If we cannot have it ourselves, then we desire to be connected to it; the ‘light.’ It is innate in our spiritual make-up to desire this: Christ is light in darkness. However, we have bought into the quick, the easy, and the right-now. This thought process outcome has a cultural affinity, an attraction to ‘false light’…now, let me say this, I am not begrudging the accomplishment of the celebrity, the rich, the innovated, the spiritually gifted, the insightfully educated, etc, it is our occult-like following of them that twist us up…Why? It causes us to compromise our integrity to allow for connections to this source. We forget who we really are. Our authentic self tries to fit into the appointed placement that does not fit; so we force it. It not a comfortable place as we struggle to remain there. We forget disingenuous anything creates the problem of deceit and lies as we try to cover, what we are not. Resulting in us wearing a mask that becomes the frame work from which we draw all our conclusions. The lens we see every situation through and the reason for our perspective on life as well as the experiences we encounter. Hence, we by default invite the author of confusion into our mix. Then all the cavalier mindset of it does not matter, it’s all good, it not a big deal, he/she will get over it, etc ensues.
Yet, if we would wait on the invitation, the anointing we shall not be disappointed because we are where we are supposed to be; perfect fit. No struggling to remain. It is correct and a comfortable fit. When we wait on the favor, it remains without exception. We receive unexpected elevation and legitimate honor for we do not see humility as a weakness, but a confidence and strength. In the bible it is explained this way - Luke 14:8-11 - "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.”But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you. "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. (NASB)” See, it does not matter where we sit, if we belong in the place of honor, we shall be place there by invitation or guidance. But if we decide it is owed to us because of who we are, the position we hold, or the title we carry, the host may look at you and tell you – This is not your sit, we are going to have to move you. Although we all like to be fussed over, regardless of our protest, it never feels good when you have not chosen well, and required to be removed.
Waiting to be invited up means less embarrassment, and allows one to prepare him/herself for the placement that is forthcoming. It helps us to better understand that God work things through a focus intentional process. The Lord knows what awaits us upon arrival, and what is needed in order for us to remain and sustain the new placement. Isaiah 55:9-11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it (NASB)…The question is, are we ready to be blessed or invited up?
