| 0:00.0 | Thanks for joining us for today's edition of the Our Daily Bread Devotional. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Amy Boucher Pie and I called today's reading A Humble Poster. |
| 0:15.0 | Keep your hands behind your back. You'll be fine. |
| 0:19.0 | That's the loving admonition Jan's husband always gave before she ventured |
| 0:22.9 | off to speak to a group. When she found herself trying to impress people or seeking to control |
| 0:28.7 | the situation, she'd adopt this posture because it put her in a teachable, listening frame of mind. |
| 0:35.6 | She used it to remind herself to love those before her and to be |
| 0:39.2 | humble and available to the Holy Spirit. Jan's understanding of humility is rooted in King David's |

| 1:24.1 | God, as Jan says, and we'll realize that if we've done well, it's because |
| 1:28.6 | God has helped us flourish. |
| 1:31.3 | We can look at others with love, our hands clasped behind our backs in a posture of humility |
| 1:36.1 | to remind us that everything we have comes from God. |
| 1:45.6 | Today's Our Daily Bread Scripture passage is Psalm 16. |
| 1:50.6 | Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. |
| 1:55.4 | I say to the Lord, you are my Lord. |
