Proverbs 15:33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.

Today we visit the wisdom of Proverbs as we explore humility as it relates to our fear of the Lord. To be honest, when I first read this proverb I had no idea how the two statements related to one another. In true proverbial form, the author made his point by using a comparison. But at first glance I was unable to see how they could be explained in today’s devotion. I had to spend some time in prayer and had to do a deep dive into the words that close out this chapter in Proverbs to be able to write today’s message.

If you want wisdom, you need humility. If you want to gain spiritual insight, you need to fall to your knees before God in humble submission. True wisdom recognizes that we are nothing and brings us before God with a heart that is open and longing for His instruction. True wisdom begins with seeing ourselves as we truly are - we are nothing without Him.

Through humility we gain honor and wisdom. We learned a few days ago that if we don’t humble ourselves, He will do it for us and it will probably not be pleasant. If we want to gain the honor and wisdom He has waiting for us we need to be submissive and teachable. We need to recognize and accept our need for Him.

We cannot do it on our own. To think we can gain wisdom or honor by our own means is arrogance and He will knock us down a few pegs. We must reject our own thoughts and opinions and instead turn to Him and His wisdom if we want to grow. The path to wisdom and honor lies in cultivating a submissive, respectful relationship with God.

DAY 36 Of Lent – A Renewed Mind
“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” - Romans 12:2

Thought Of The Day...
A renewed life always begins with a renewed mind. God does not start transformation from the outside—He begins within, reshaping the way we think, perceive, and respond. The world constantly pressures us to conform—to adopt its values, fears, and patterns—but God calls us to something higher: transformation.
The word “transformed” speaks of a complete change, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. This kind of change is not temporary or surface-level; it is deep and lasting. When your mind is renewed by God’s Word, your perspective shifts. What once discouraged you now strengthens you. What once confused you becomes clear. What once controlled you loses its power.
A renewed mind allows you to discern God’s will—what is good, acceptable, and perfect. You begin to think like Christ, respond with wisdom, and walk in peace even in uncertain times. Victory is not just in what you do—it’s in how you think. When your thoughts align with God, your life will follow.
Today, lay down every negative thought, every limiting belief, and every mindset that contradicts God’s truth. Invite Him to renew your thinking daily through His Word and His Spirit. Transformation is already at work in you.

Prayer...
Heavenly Father, renew my mind according to Your Word. Remove every thought that is not like You and replace it with truth, peace, and wisdom. Help me to reject the patterns of this world and embrace Your perfect will for my life. Let my thinking reflect Your heart in every situation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Declaration...
My mind is renewed daily by the Word of God. I think with clarity, walk in truth, and live in transformation. My thoughts are aligned with God, and my life reflects His perfect will.
