What does it mean that God exalts the humble?

Answered in 1 source

God's promise to exalt the humble means He honors and raises up those who submit to His authority.

The exhortation in 1 Peter 5:6, 'Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,' indicates that God actively lifts up those who show humility. This exaltation does not always mean earthly recognition or success; rather, it reflects God's spiritual blessings and rewards given in accordance with His timing. As believers, we trust that God sees our humility and will honor our faithfulness in His perfect plan.
