Holy Humility

"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility" (Proverbs 15:33).

There is a path to honor shown
Where holy feet have trod;
The Book of Proverbs makes it known:
It is the fear of God.

And in that path we understand
The foolishness of pride,
When humbled underneath that hand
That once was crucified.

We're not inclined to take our place
Among those who are humble.
Yet God directs us there by grace,
Lest we, by pride, should stumble.

Remember God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the lowly.
And thereby honor is endowed,
And thus He makes us holy.
