The Power of Humility: Make Amends and Find Peace

“If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, go, humble yourself and make it right.” (Proverbs 6:2–3) In 1755, a young Colonel George Washington insulted a rival during a campaign speech. When the man struck him with a stick, Washington refused to escalate the conflict. The next day, he met his opponent with a humble apology and an outstretched hand. Jesus taught that reconciliation must come before worship: if your brother has something against you, leave your gift, go and be reconciled (Matthew 5:23–25). Solomon’s words remind us that humility restores relationships and brings inner peace. Your call today is to humble yourself, reach out to anyone you have wronged, and seek to make things right.
