There is a quiet strength in knowing your worth. It is not about arrogance or proving yourself, but about walking with the confidence that your value comes from God alone. You don’t have to scramble for attention, or wedge yourself into spaces where you are only barely tolerated. When you are rooted in Christ, you can rest in the truth that your life is precious, your gifts are needed, and your presence has weight.

I have learned to see rejection not as a reflection of my inadequacy, but as a signpost pointing me away from the wrong table. Some tables may look appealing, some seats may seem desirable, yet if no space is made for me there, then I can trust it was never where I was meant to be. I don’t have to force my way in. I can choose to excuse myself with grace, because my Father has already prepared a place that is mine.

This Scripture reminds me that advancement, belonging, and recognition are not manufactured by human favour. They come from God’s hand. He chooses when to lift me, where to plant me, and how to use me for His glory. His timing is perfect, His placement intentional, and His table abundant.

So I wait, not with bitterness, but with anticipation. I sit with dignity, knowing that the chair He has prepared for me is one where I will be welcomed, seen, and able to serve. The right table will never require me to shrink, strive, or settle. It will feel like home because it was set by His loving hand.

🙌Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You that my value is not tied to who accepts or rejects me, but to Your eternal love. Help me to walk away from tables that cannot hold me without resentment, and to wait patiently for the place You have set for me. Give me courage to sit where You invite me, and peace to trust Your perfect timing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
