God delights in His people, and He adorns the humble with salvation. This verse emphasizes that humility attracts God’s favor and blessings. When we humble ourselves before God, He takes pleasure in us and offers us salvation. Humility before God means acknowledging our dependence on Him for everything—our salvation, our provision, and our direction. In turn, God blesses the humble with His presence, peace, and grace. This verse also serves as a reminder that salvation is not something we can earn through pride or self-sufficiency, but it is a gift from God that we receive through humility and faith. The humble heart opens itself to God’s saving grace, and in return, God adorns it with His blessings. Humility, therefore, is not only a virtue but the pathway to experiencing God’s salvation and favor in our lives.
Proverbs 22:4
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
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.
Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
