The humble lane
Showing respect to the Lord
will make you wise,
and being humble will bring honor to you. ~ Proverbs 15:33 (CEV)
Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes. ~ 1 Corinthians 8:2-3 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Choose to travel in a humble lane and you'll arrive at your destination with honors.
PRAYER:
Gracious God, thank you for entering into the human story by sending Jesus to lead us into salvation. Sometimes I resist being led and I act like I know more than I do. Forgive me and help me to live humbly with him. I'm going to arrive at my destination with him. Amen.
