How do we know that God delights to honor His people?

Answered in 1 source

God delights to honor His people as seen in the exaltation of Mordecai and the ultimate honor given to Jesus Christ.

God's delight in honoring His people is vividly illustrated in the story of Esther. Mordecai, despite being a despised Jew, is the man whom the king delights to honor, reflecting God's choice to elevate the humble. This concept is further emphasized in the New Testament where God honors Christ, who, being rejected by men, is highly exalted above all through His resurrection and ascension. Philippians 2:9-11 reinforces that God has 'highly exalted him and given him a name above every name.' As believers in Christ, we are united with Him, and what is true of our Savior—in terms of honor and acceptance—also applies to us as those who are in Him, illustrating that God’s sovereign grace extends to all His covenant people.
