Our society is one in which we are defined by our accomplishments and in which fame is revered. We have famous movie stars, famous authors, famous athletes, and even famous podcasters! But fame and accomplishments are not something that God cares about. In fact, in today[base ']s verse, Luke 14:11 from the NIV, Jesus teaches us that it's just the opposite:
"Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
When we find ourselves starting to gloat about our accomplishments, this is the verse we should remember!
Be humble today!

Since God is all about love, despite rumors to the contrary, it's worth taking another look at how best to deal with those whose life goal seems to be to get us to respond in a non-loving way. In today's verses, Matthew 5:44,45a from the NJKV, Jesus teaches us the appropriate response to these people, which I[base ']m sure you'll find to be as easy as it sounds:
"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven..."
These verses offer enough of a challenge that they're well worth memorizing and keeping in mind at all times!
Forgive someone who doesn't deserve it today! (God did it for you.)
