Proverbs 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
The temporal promises of Proverbs continue on the condition, gaining, and keeping Wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. Wisdom is the foundation of life that produces many temporal blessings during life on earth. If that is true, one would be wise to exalt and embrace Wisdom. If you exalt wisdom and embrace her then she will promote you and bring you honor. When you know the right thing to do and do it then the world notices and promotes you for it.
To exalt and embrace wisdom is to seek first the kingdom of God, gladly hear the Word of God and keep it, dig into the Word and believe it, and hold on to Jesus as a treasure. Then you have God’s eternal life, you are forgiven, and saved. We exalt and embrace Wisdom (the Word, Jesus) in our life, because He first loved us. All these “other things,” like worldly honor, will be added.
Whether we see worldly honor or not doesn’t matter, for we have the spiritual promotion, blessing, honor, and glory of God anyway. In the Great Reversal God exalts the humble. Jesus says to us, “Friend, go up higher!” The “Wisdom of God” has graced us to sit with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
