Read Proverbs 15:33  Our verse tells us how to get wisdom and honor.  These are both good things to have.  We like to be smart and we like other people to think that we are smart.  That is wisdom and honor.  Our verse says that the way to get wisdom is to fear God.  To fear God doesn't only mean to be afraid of God - it means to respect God.  You are afraid not to obey God.  You are afraid to displease God because He sees and knows everything.  And the way to get honor is to begin with humility.  Today I went to Chick fil-A for breakfast.  No surprise.  When I drove in, the manager was out in the parking lot picking up trash.  He could have made one of his employees pick up the trash, but they were busy with customers inside.  He was the boss, but he was not too good to bend down and to pick up trash.  He had the right attitude.  He had humility and he had honor.  Let's have the right attitude.  Let's respect God and get wisdom and let's be humble and get honor.
