“By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life” (Proverbs 22:4, NKJV). This verse links two qualities, humility and reverence for God, to outcomes we don’t usually associate with them directly.
Most paths to riches and honor that our culture recognizes run through self-promotion, not humility. This verse describes a different route entirely.
This isn’t a formula guaranteeing wealth for the humble. It’s a broader picture of the kind of life, rich in the ways that actually matter, that humility and reverence tend to produce.
Where might humility, rather than self-promotion, actually be the wiser path forward in something you’re currently pursuing?
