S – Before his downfall a person’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 

Proverbs 18:12 CSB

O – Commentary:

Haughtiness cultivates pride. It leads to failure because it does not allow for change in the face of criticism. Humility learns from others and leads to the honor of success

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – I like the commentary  where it says, “Doesn’t allow for change.”  Change isn’t easy.  Yet, we live in a world of change.  If we are to navigate it well, we cannot rely only on ourselves.  Nor can we be arrogant enough to think we don’t need to learn from God and others.  Humility invites the Holy Spirit and others to speak healthy truths into our lives.

R –  Heavenly Father, we honor and glorify you today.  We invite your Holy Spirit to be part of our thoughts, words and actions.  Show us your ways and empower us to change when necessary.  We want to show your love to others.
