June 14: God Teaches the Humble

Scripture:
“The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way.”
— Psalm 25:9 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. Humility invites God’s personal instruction.
  2. God teaches the lowly what pride will never see.
  3. Justice flows from God’s leadership.
  4. True wisdom begins with an open, teachable heart.
  5. Following Christ means choosing humility daily.

Poem: The Heart That Bows

The proud rush past your voice.
The wise in their own eyes stumble.
But you stoop to teach the lowly.
You carve wisdom into simple hearts.
You place truth in open hands.

The humble lift empty hands to you.
They carry no trophies, no thrones.
You fill them with treasures unseen.
You write lessons on their palms.
You mark their steps with kindness.

You teach what pride cannot hear.
You reveal what strength overlooks.
You show the quiet way of Christ.
You walk softly among the meek.
You whisper justice into their days.

I lower my head before your Word.
I loosen my grip on my plans.
You do not despise the broken.
You do not reject the bowed.
You lead the lowly with delight.

Make my heart soft to your voice.
Make my will bend to your breath.
Teach me not to trust my sight.
Guide me by your patient hand.
Shape me to walk in your way.
