Proverbs 25:6-7 - "The Wisdom of Humility"

Part of our fallen human condition is that we want to seek honor for ourselves. The wisdom of Proverbs warns us that such pride is a path to dishonor, and even destruction. Humility is the only path to true honor, so we must humble ourselves. In today’s proverb, we see a sharp contrast between the consequences of honoring ourselves and humbling ourselves before God and others.
