## Verse
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.” — James 4:10 (WEB)
## Reflection
Humility is not self-degradation. It is accurate positioning — knowing who God is and who you are in relation to Him. When you humble yourself, you are not diminishing your worth. You are entrusting your worth to the One who defines it. And James promises: He will exalt you. Not if you exalt yourself first. Not if you promote your own name. He will lift you up in His time. You are free to let go of the exhausting work of proving yourself. Let God handle your reputation.
