When God says .......
Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of the great; For it is better that he say to you, “Come up here,” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen. (Proverbs 25:6, 7 NKJV).
The Message Bible puts it this way- Don’t work yourself into the spotlight; don’t push your way into the place of prominence. It’s better to be promoted to a place of honor than face humiliation by being demoted. (Proverbs 25:6, 7 MSG)
He refresh our focus on the virtue of humility. 'Social climbing' to a place of distinction where you don't belong bears the risk of being pushed to fall in a great crash.
Instead we are to emulate our Savior - who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:6-8 NKJV)
