Respect and humility

Proverbs 15:33 “The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.” Recognizing every superlative in every language belongs to our God demands both extreme respect for our Heavenly Father as well as a humility which honors our God.  Man’s downfall comes when he places himself not only as an equal but even considers himself greater than God.  Seeming wealth and seeming popularity can easily generate such an attitude.  However, wisdom and humility will always gain the victory over anything this world places as a statue.
