One Year Bible – Day 238

S – Humility, the fear of the Lord, results in wealth, honor, and life.

Proverbs 22:4 CSB

O – Commentary:

Humility and the fear of the Lord go together (cf. 15:33). A person cannot fear God (worshiping, trusting, obeying, and serving Him) and be filled with selfish pride at the same time. Wealth … honor, and life result from fearing God, and as in 21:21 (see comments there) they also come from righteous living. So the fear of the Lord and righteousness are closely related

“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Walking in humility and reverence of God, it allows our worship, trust and obedience to be authentic.  No wonder the battle of humility and pride is always present in our lives.  We must be aware of it and intentionally fight for humility.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you today.  Give us the strength and courage to walk in humility and faith.  We desire to know you more today.  We honor and fear you and it draws us closer.
