September 11th: Why Humility Makes You More Likable | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus
Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re walking to school in your favorite hoodie or hoping that science quiz gets delayed, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.
All month long, we’re diving into Proverbs for Your School Life—daily wisdom from the Bible to help you handle life at school, with friends, and in the everyday choices you make.
Today’s verse is a big reminder that real strength doesn’t come from being loud or arrogant—but from staying humble:
👉 Proverbs 11:2 (CSB)
“When arrogance comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.”
💡 What does that mean?
Arrogance talks big, tries to impress others, refuses correction, and always wants the spotlight.
Solomon says it leads to disgrace—which means regret, embarrassment, and things falling apart.
But humility—admitting you don’t know it all and being open to correction—is where true wisdom begins.
✅ In this episode, kids will learn:
The difference between confidence and arrogance
Why humility doesn’t make you weak—it makes you wise
How Jesus modeled perfect humility (even though He had nothing to prove!)
Real-life examples, like how humble teammates build trust and strong friendships
🏀 Think of it like this:
One basketball player never passes, brags constantly, and blames others when things go wrong.
Another player encourages others, listens to the coach, and admits mistakes.
💥 Who do you want on your team?
That’s the power of humility. It earns respect. It helps you grow. And it makes you someone others love to be around.
📘 Application for Today:
Don’t act like you know everything. Stay open to learning.
Take correction without excuses. Let it help you grow.
Remember: Humility doesn’t make you less. It makes you better.
👨👩👧 Parent Tip:
Ask your child:
“What’s one way you can practice humility this week—in class, at home, or with friends?”
