However, I am not in search of honor for Myself. [I do not seek and am not aiming for My own glory.] There is One Who [looks after that; He] seeks [My glory], and He is the Judge. John 8:50 (AMPC)
Honor is good but seeking it in your own wisdom and strength is ungodly and evil. Because what you get in your own ability you boast in, you use it your own way for your own selfish ambitions. This can corrupt and destroy you and others.
The devil sought honor for himself to set up his throne like God but he was thrown down to the lowest pit. Isaiah 14:12-15. But Jesus though being God humbled Himself to the lowest. Therefore God the Father exalted Jesus to the highest place of honor – Philippians 2:5-11.True honor comes from God. What you freely received from God, you acknowledge and give praise to God for it, you use it to serve others for the Lord’s glory. This blesses you and others.
