The strong ego in us all would have us occupying the ‘top spot’ in the woodpile. In contrast to this, the Bible paints a very different picture. The Lord observed that the scribes of His day sought out "the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts.” However, it could often lead to embarrassment, when they were asked to give way to a more highly esteemed guest. The Saviour advised, “When you are invited ... sit down in the lowest place”, because the Divine principle is, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." John the Baptist, when speaking of Christ, said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” - It takes more grace than I can tell, to play the second fiddle well.

“Ask! What shall I give you?”

“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time”

– 1Peter 5:6

2 Chronicles 1:7

God appeared to King Solomon and presented to him, what you and I would call ‘a blank cheque’, saying to him, "Ask what I should give you?" Today many would have replied, “Give me wealth” or “Give me fame” or “Give me power” or “Give me long life”. The list is endless. Solomon, marked by selflessness, replied, “I am a little child ... Give me now wisdom and knowledge ... an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil.” God, in His grace, gave to Solomon more than he asked for. “God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding ... riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have ... And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon.” Wise King Solomon would later pen these weighty words – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”
