Luke 14:11

"Sit Low. Live Lifted: Why the Low Seat Is Where You Were Meant to Be" is a 3-day devotional designed to realign your heart with Jesus’ teaching on humility from Luke 14. Each day explores what it truly means to choose the “low place,” why God honors humility, and how loving those who cannot repay reflects the heart of Christ. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, this plan invites you to release entitlement, embrace quiet faithfulness, and discover the unexpected joy and honor God reserves for those who choose to sit low and live lifted.

One of the Pharisees invited the Lord Jesus to eat a meal. As Jesus watched the guests choose the best places to sit, He told them a story, exhorting them not to choose the best seats, but to humbly choose the least important seats. Some people lift themselves up to be important, only to be abased; but the humble will be exalted.

When someone takes a shot at you, it’s instinct to fire back – in the line-up and in life. Jesus’ teaching to “love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you” is completely counter-cultural, but… is it also the way to gain God’s favour? Join Christian Surfers’ communications manager, Cyle Myers to discover how you can love your enemy… and the unexpected blessings that flow from that decision.

If you were making an ice cream sundae, you wouldn’t top it with ketchup or fermented tuna liver – they just don’t belong there! In our lives as followers of Jesus, pride has no place in the picture. Join us as we learn about the ingredient every believer’s life should include: humility!
