S - 6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 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.
O - Solomon is talking about being being less visible to the king and having the king request you to come to him instead of being right in front of him and having him move you out of his presence.
A - This talks about humility; the correct meaning of humility, in my mind. Humility is not when an person thinks less of himself or is unwilling to step up to the plate when there is need because it might put himself in the spotlight. Instead, it is when a person does what is needed or necessary but doesn't need to tell others about it. In having this true humility and being led by the Spirit, I will be one that kings, or leaders, will take notice of and want me in their presence.
P - Heavenly Father, help me to be filled with humility and be led by you daily. Give me the strength daily to do what is right and to fulfill your calling on my life. I know that by doing this I will be noticed without having to shout it from the rooftops. Bless my day and bless my family and keep them safe.
