The Greek word there for "lowly" is Strong's 5013, tapinoo, meaning to depress, to abase oneself, to humiliate in/of condition or heart, to humble oneself.

The Greek word there for "change" is Strong's 4762, strefo, meaning to turn around, reverse, be changed / converted, as in regeneration by the spirit.

It is referring to the man not assuming he's right, believing that his learned interpretations of worldly things are correct, but rather he recognizes that what he hears from God is true, and that beyond what outwardly, through worldly eyes, seems possible, plausible, or right.

"...Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven..."
"...If any man thinks himself wise, let him become a fool that he might become wise..."
