Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
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.
Prayer
Father, teach me humility and reverence for You. Let honor come from Your hand, not my self-promotion. Amen.
