For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Matthew 23:12 (NIV)

We live in a culture obsessed with being seen, but Matthew 23:12 (NIV) flips the script with kingdom truth. Focus isn’t about climbing ladders—it’s about choosing humility when recognition is within reach. To be High And Lifted Up in God’s way means letting service shape your influence and character guide your rise. For Black people and our communities, this is grounding wisdom: we don’t have to perform for worth when dignity is already God-given. When humility leads, your hands work with purpose instead of pressure. This word travels across generations, reminding us that the path upward often begins with quiet faithfulness. Stay Focused, stay grounded, and trust God to handle the lifting.
