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.
1 Corinthians 1:28
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are.
Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility.
Proverbs 16:19
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
1 Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
