Respect and honor come from a place of wisdom, and wisdom itself is rooted in humility. When we live with a sense of reverence, we acknowledge the depth of knowledge that comes with humility. Wisdom teaches us that honor isn’t something to be demanded or taken; it’s something to be earned through integrity and a humble heart. In a world often focused on self-promotion, humility shows a different way—one where honor is the result of living with respect and faith. This respect isn’t just toward others, but also toward oneself, acknowledging our place within a larger story. Wisdom born from humility fosters a respect that brings honor not by force, but through understanding and compassion.
Psalms 34:2
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
James 4:15
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Proverbs 11:2
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Proverbs 18:12
Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
