Honor
An honorable defeat is better than a dishonorable victory (Millard Fillmore, 13th U.S. president)
Who won the Super Bowl this year? Can you name the 2025 March Madness or the Master’s winners from just last month? How soon we forget even some major events in our own lives. Apparently, winning isn’t everything. What’s important is the way you played the game. Fillmore was right; it’s better to be honorable and lose than win dishonorably.
Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. . . Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor. (Romans 12:17; James 4:10)
