S - Proverbs 26:12 - Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

O - A fool is someone in this chapter that is talked about a lot in an extremely negative light.  He is said to have no honor due to him.  However, in this verse the Proverb is saying that the fool has more hope than the person that sees himself as wise in his own eyes.

A - It is good to be confident in who I am and believe that I can do things put out in front of me, but if I think I am wise or better than others, I have become a fool or even worse than a fool.  My wisdom and ability all come from God and without Him I would be nothing.  Praise the Lord that he has blessed me.  I want to use His blessings not to boast or puff up but instead to bless others.

P - Heavenly Father, You alone are wise and you alone are worthy of praise and honor.  Help me to remember daily that everything that I am that is good has come from you and that I should use those gifts for your glory and honor.  Help me to uplift, encourage and bless those around me and to never hold myself higher than other people.  Help me to be a beckon of hope and a light for others to see you and find you.
