4. The Meek

Meekness is often thought of as “weakness,” but the opposite is true in Scripture. Meekness is power under control. Moses was the Old Testament example of meekness. Jesus was the ultimate example. Neither of them was weak! Both were submitted to the guidance and plan of God. Are we? There is a vertical side to meekness that calls us to surrender ourselves to God alone as a “living sacrifice” (Rom. 12:1). And there is a horizontal side to meekness that leads us to humbly serve those around us, “submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Eph. 5:21). We all want the promise for the meek to “inherit the earth,” but we struggle to follow the example of Jesus and embrace the mindset of His meekness. Come be challenged and encouraged to experience the blessing for those who are meek!
