Humility comes before Honor
“Humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 15:33
God will deny no blessing to a thoroughly humbled spirit. All of God’s resources will be made available to the soul that is humble enough to be able to receive them without growing proud because of it. God blesses each of us up to the level and extent of what it is safe for Him to do. If you do not get a blessing, it is because it is not safe for you to have one. If our heavenly Father were to let your unhumbled spirit win a victory in His holy war, you would snatch the crown for yourself, and in the next battle you would fall a victim. He keeps you low for your own safety. When a man is sincerely humble and never tries to take the credit or the praise, there is scarcely any limit to what God will do for Him.
O Lord, do not shower me your blessings if it will bring disaster later on. Make me great according to Your time. Keep me humble and true that I may give you all the glory and honor in whatever my future may entail.
