Meek: November 25, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 25, 2016.
MEEK
DEFINITION:

Humble; submissive; gentle; docile; kind.
SCRIPTURE:

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5.



KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

Today we will look at the third Beatitude that Jesus taught on the Sermon on the Mount. The philosophy of the world is the exact opposite of this beatitude. People of the world consider the meek (humble and submissive) person to be weak and cowardly. But what the world does not understand is that the most gentle, meek and humble person that ever lived on this earth was our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes, the world may consider the meek to be weak, but meekness is not weakness. To be meek is to be in control of your actions and that takes God’s strength and His power. The meek do not exploit or oppress others. They are not violent and not argumentative.

The meek are gentle and they are “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” Ephesians 6:10.

The meek are person is a quiet person. He is quiet before God, he surrenders to God and he communicates with God. A meek person is also quiet before men. He walks quietly before men and he is controlled in all things including his reactions, his speech and behavior.

A believer in Jesus, who is meek according to the standard of God, is blessed when he or she is content with who they are and what they have in the Lord. That is the moment you will find yourself the proud owner of everything that can be inherited from God on this earth.

When Jesus said that the meek would inherit the earth, there were two points to be stressed.

First, the meek will inherit the earth now. They will enjoy the good things of the earth that God has blessed them with. The meek are comfortable with themselves. They know who they are and strong and confident in their faith. They know where they are going and are assured of victory, conquest and triumph over whatever confronts them. And they have peaceful souls because they have learned that whatever pressure or tension comes their way they will turn it over to Christ.

Secondly, the earth is the Meek’s eternally for they will be part of God’s kingdom in the new heavens and earth. (Revelation 21:1-3) They have an inheritance of eternal life and dominion is promised for them, for they are joint-heirs with Christ.


LEARNING:

Our memory verse for his week is found in I Corinthians 15:58.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

PRAYER:

Help me to be meek and gentle to those I communicate with today so that each one can see Christ in me and through me.
