Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit
the earth. Matt.
5:5
The Beatitudes is
a list of attitudes that should be found in every believer. One of these characteristics is meekness.
Meekness
is power under control. It is power that
doesn’t strike back and doesn’t react and doesn’t fight against God or man. In
meekness we stop and realizes that God is the Creator and He is the ruler over
everything. And because I know that I
can rest in Him and trust in Him I can
allow God to govern me rather than the circumstances or the situations or the
people that are around me.” Meekness is submission of our thoughts, our ways, and
our evaluations of a situation to God.
When
I try to be strong in my own might, when I try to take care of the situations,
or manipulate them, When I try to make
things work out the way that I think they ought to work out, then I am not
walking in meekness and it wears me out. Meekness is putting yourself in a yoke
with God and knowing that God is stronger than you and He’s able to pull the
load so the load comes off of your shoulders because you’re resting in the
Lord.
The
meek do not fret but the meek wait upon the Lord. The meek cry out to God. They
mourn over sin. Blessed are the meek, those that submit to God, and those that
become pliable in His hands, those that allow God to mold them and shape them
in every circumstance of life because they will inherit the earth.
