Wisdom

Humility Before Honor

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 15:33

· · ·

The fear of the Lord and humility are essential prerequisites for true wisdom and honor.

God's instruction comes through the discipline of fearing Him with reverence and awe. Before we can receive honor, we must learn humility. This divine pattern runs counter to worldly ambition, which seeks honor through self-promotion. God lifts up those who humble themselves under His wisdom.

Look for an opportunity today to serve others humbly rather than seeking recognition or advancement.

Father, teach me humility and reverence for You. Let honor come from Your hand, not my self-promotion. Amen.
