The Daily Word of Hope Devotional Bible Fact:One shekel was four days wages. † The Popcorn Line † Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1Pet. 5:6-7 ESV We went to the movies once and the man at the counter was fuming because he had been assigned to the snack bar. “What were they thinking putting me out here in front of everyone to serve popcorn! I have not done this in years! I am supposed to be in the back!” he complained on and on. Everyone in the line looked at each and felt like we were bothering him. We really just wanted our popcorn, but I did understand what he was talking about.Each time in my life, before the Lord started to use me in any way that mattered, I went through a season of humbling to prepare me for it. It was voluntary, and I was just given the opportunity, not forced. It usually presented itself as a choice where I could choose to humbly serve in some way, or leave feeling like they didn’t know how important that I really was.It was a choice, and I was free to do either. The times that I chose the humble path, it always ended up with me being promoted in some way. I have gone from sweeping the floor to the manager. This verse says to humble yourselves so that God may exalt you. He will provide the opportunity, but only you can humble yourself. God does not make you humble, He provides an opportunity for you to serve in a lowly esteemed position with a positive attitude.When He gives you the chance to humbly serve in some way, do it. It is quite possibly the greatest door that could open for you disguised as something lowly. Jesus, the King of Kings washed the feet of the disciples like He was a servant. The further it is beneath you, the higher that He will take you.
