"For those who make themselves great will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be made great."
This verse from Luke comes at the end of a parable where Jesus explains that one should sit in the lowest seat at a banquet and not the highest. To me, it means that to be humble, we should put others before ourselves. Our own happiness and comfort should come second to that of others. We see it time and again in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and the New, that those who do this do not lack for happiness and comfort themselves.
When we put others first, we are putting God first. When we put God first, He provides for us.
