What does it mean that God reveals truth to the humble?

Answered in 1 source

God reveals spiritual truths to the humble while hiding them from the wise and prudent, showcasing His sovereignty in salvation.

In Matthew 11:25-26, Jesus thanks the Father for hiding truths from the wise and revealing them to babes. This teaches us about God's sovereign choice in whom He reveals spiritual understanding. The proud and self-sufficient often miss the truth because they rely on their own wisdom, while those who come with humility, recognizing their need, are open to receiving God’s grace. This distinction underscores the Gospel's accessibility to the humble and poor in spirit, aligning with the themes of God's grace throughout scripture, as He delights in showing mercy to those who acknowledge their need.
