Path to Pinnacle through Humble Circumstances

[S] James 1:9 --
9  But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

[O] The principle here is that when I stay humble, then God will bring me to high position and that's the right way to reach the "top."  Even though this world points to the way of the material richness, that is not the way God approves.  Quite a contrasting concept and a very difficult one to practice.

[A] Whenever there is a choice, pick the humble circumstance.

[P] Dear Father, You have chosen this path of choosing to humble Yourself in the form of Jesus because that was the only way to raise us up into the high position displaying His glory.  Please remind me daily to take the same kind of intentionally humbling myself for the gain of Your kingdom displayed in this hopeless world.  In Jesus' name.  Amen
