We’re living in a world that rewards sarcasm, ghosting and betrayal.

Honor feels like some ancient code lost in time.

But the truth? It’s not dead. It’s just rare.

I once met a man in a war zone who had no social media, no followers — but every leader deferred to him. Why? Because his word meant something.

He had refused to break a promise, even when it would’ve been easier — and safer — to do so. I watched others scramble for influence.

He just stood steady. And that was power.

Honor is this:

  • Do you keep your word when it hurts?
  • Do you speak truth even when it costs you?
  • Do you treat others right — especially when they can’t benefit you?

The world may never applaud your honor. But God sees.

And so do the men who matter.

Today’s reminder:

Don’t speak honor. Live it.

Be the man others feel safer around — not because you’re soft, but because they know your character doesn’t shift with the wind.
