Matthew 5:5
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
JESUS reminds us that gentleness and humility are not weaknesses, but qualities that reflect GOD’s character. True strength comes from a humble spirit, one that trusts in the power of GOD rather than relying on earthly might. Let us strive to cultivate meekness in our hearts, knowing that it is a path to blessing and inheriting the kingdom of GOD.
Meekness is about trusting GOD to win the battle in the end instead of going to extremes to win the battle on our own terms. The concept is often referred to as "strength under control," rather than "strength seeking control." This is exactly a reversal from the world's common reaction and understanding. Let us endeavor to consistently reflect CHRIST in any and whatever challenges that come to us, for the glory of our good, good FATHER.
Prayer:
LORD GOD, help me to embrace meekness in my daily life. Grant me a humble heart that is gentle and patient, even in difficult situations. May I learn from JESUS’ example of humility and meekness, and may my actions reflect Your gentle and loving character. Thank You for the promise of inheriting the earth, a promise that awaits those who are meek in spirit. In JESUS’ Marvelous Name, Amen.
