Sirach 3:17-18,20,28-29; Psalm 68:4-11; Hebrews 12:18-24; Luke 14:1,7-14

exalting
ourselves
we reach
beyond
our need
striving for
favored seats
and reward
we forsake
God’s justice
and love
seeking
into things
beyond
our strength
yet humbled
we are
showered with
beautiful rains
and make a home
in God’s goodness
city of the living God
we leave
our fear
and trembling
gloomy darkness
and storm
and open
to Jesus’
saving power
saving love

What is humility?
What do you seek?
