Honor
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. (Ernest Hemingway, American novelist)
While many people may suffer from an inferiority complex, fewer have a view of themselves as being somewhat superior to others. It may be in athletic or academic comparison, but such people aren’t always pleasant to be around. And Hemingway’s comment is worthy of note. We should all strive for excellence, which could be our most noble endeavor.
Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor . . . True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. (Proverbs 15:33; 22:4)
