DAY 118
Pride Brings Low, Humility Gains Honor
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
גַּאֲוַת אָדָם תַּשְׁפִּילֶנּוּ וּשְׁפַל־רוּחַ יִתְמֹךְ כָּבוֹד
📜 THE VERSE
A person's pride brings him low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
The harder I strive to rise, am I drifting farther from people?
📝Reflection
The harder one strives to rise, the more people drift away; lower yourself, and people gather instead — I have seen it many times. Pride seems to make me larger but really makes me lonely. This verse names that paradox plainly. Humility is not belittling yourself but leaving room to hold others. As ripened grain bows its head, the truly large person stands low. Lowering yourself, in the end, carries you to the highest place.
