A Humble Posture Today's Devotional Read: Psalm Bible in a Year: Exodus 29–30; Matthew 21:23–46 I say the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” Psalm :2 “Keep your hands behind your back. You’ll be fine.” That’s the loving admonition Jan’s husband always gave before she ventured off speak a group. When she found herself trying impress people or seeking control a situation, she’d adopt this posture because it put her in a teachable, listening frame of mind. She used it remind herself love those before her and be humble and available the Holy Spirit. Jan’s understanding of humility is rooted in King David’s observation that everything comes from God. David said God, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing” (Psalm :2). He learned trust God and seek His counsel: “Even at night my heart instructs ” (v. 7). He knew that with God next him, he’d not be shaken (v. 8. He didn’t need puff himself because he trusted in the mighty God who loved him. we look God each day, asking Him help us when we feel frustrated or give us words speak when we feel tongue-tied, we’ll see Him at work in our lives. We’ll “partner with God,” Jan says; and we’ll realize that if we’ve done well, it’s because God has helped us flourish. We can look at others with love, our hands clasped behind our backs in a posture of humility remind us that everything we have comes from God. How do you feel when you place yourself in a humble posture before someone else? How could you depend on God help you with the tasks before you today? Creator God, You’ve created the world and that’s within it, and yet You love and want use for Your glory. Help look You for help and strength.
