“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5)
We are on the third beatitude today. To be meek is to be humble, modest, and submissive. This meekness does not lead to timidity for God has not given us the spirit of fear. Meek is not weak, but a demonstration of divine wisdom.
“But the wisdom that is from above is pure, filled with peace, meek and attentive…” (James 3:17)
This kind of wisdom that makes one teachable and open to feedback will place a person on a path of constant self improvement. The end result is that they are bound to succeed in life.
Some scholars have suggested that the meek shall inherit not this earth but the new one to come. But if wisdom is indeed the principal thing in life and meekness is a manifestation of divine wisdom, then I dare say that the meek shall inherit both this earth and the one hereafter.
The humble shall be exalted into high places even in this life. God exalts the humble, and when God lifts you up, no one can abase you.
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble…Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” (James 4:6,10)
Seek to be meek and you will be greatly blessed both in this life and the one hereafter.
Remain Inspired!
