“Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory
of the Lord.  Though the Lord is on high,
yet He regards the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.”  (Psalm 138:5-6)

The Lord knows those who are
proud and haughty.  He understands those
whom He has made.  Be not amongst those
who scoff at the Lord, but walk humbly with Your God.  Be guided by the grace and mercy He has given
you knowing that in Him is truth and life. 
He will regard the humble and lowly. 
Come to Him humble and meek and let Him lift you up.

Lord, sometimes I do not know what to think or how to approach
You.  Teach me Your ways that I would
stand in Your presence knowing that in You is hope and the eternal future You
promise.  Guide me in all of my ways that
I would not be haughty but humble.  Lead
me to do those things which are pleasing in Your sight.  Lead me, O Lord, in the way of the truth.

Lord Jesus, You have not only
made all of these things possible, You are the one who leads.  Guide me this day that I may walk humbly with
You beside me.  Help me to better
understand the way of truth which You have revealed.  Lead me Lord in the way You know I need to go
and guide me in ways that bring glory to the Father.  May I humbly walk by Your side this day.  Amen.
