Day 1: The Posture of a Learner
Reading: Matthew 11:25-26 — In this passage, Jesus praises the Father for revealing spiritual truth not to those who consider themselves wise and self-sufficient, but to those who approach God with the humble openness of a child.
Devotional: It is easy to arrive at God's Word already convinced we know what it says. Experience and familiarity can quietly become barriers to genuine learning. But Jesus makes clear that the kingdom belongs to those who come with open hands, not clenched fists. Consider the areas of your faith where you have grown comfortable. Where have you stopped asking questions? Where have you assumed you already have the answer? True spiritual growth begins when we admit we do not know everything and invite God to teach us something new today.
Reflection: In what area of your spiritual life have you allowed familiarity to replace genuine curiosity?
Practical Application: Before reading Scripture today, pray a simple prayer asking God to show you something you have never noticed before in His Word
