Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

So I'm chapter 25 verse 9. He leads the humble and what is right and teaches the humble his way.

Ah, doesn't that make you want to pray for humility? Does that make you want to be humble to cultivate

humility remarked by humility when you realize that God leads the humble and what is right?

Like we want to do right and we want to live righteously. The key is humility.

The key to righteousness, Psalm 25 verse 9, is saying it's humility before God. He will lead the

humble and what is right. And how do you know the way of God? How do you walk in the way of God?

We're getting his word and the leadership of his spirit as we make decisions, think of all the

decisions you or I will make today or tomorrow. Some small, some big. Don't we all want to make

those decisions in ways that glorify God? And Psalm 25 verse 9 is saying he teaches the humble

his way. So the key to righteousness and the key to experiencing the ways of God, the abundant life

that God has designed for us, his ways in our lives. The key is humility. So we pray. Oh, God,

we ask for humility in each of our lives. God, we pray for humility. We pray for the humility

of Jesus. We think about Philippians chapter 2. We humbled Himself and became obedient to death,

even death on a cross. God, we pray for humble obedience to you. We pray that

or even as we're praying right now, I think about how little, how relatively little we pray.

And when we don't pray, our prayerlessness is such a picture of our pride. God, we think we can do

so much on our own. When we know your word makes clear, we can do nothing on our own. I can do

nothing on my own. There's no good in me apart from good that you give, that you provide, that you

make possible. God, that's true for all of us. We need you. God, we need you. We have so much

reason to be humble before you. Yet we are often so prideful, turning aside from your ways to our

own ways, going through our lives as if we can do this on our own. God, we pray. Make us humble.
