MEEKNESS
Psalm 37:11 “But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
Meekness is strong,not weak.It is gracious, not brash.A meek person is not easily provoked cause his humble genes denotes the dependence upon God and His constant need for His guidance and support.
A characteristic of meekness is a particular spiritual respect to learn from The Holy Spirit and from the people who are low in their capability,experience or education.
Meekness is the prime attitude that can protect one from their blind pride that arises from power,wealth and position.
Scripture says,in Mathew 5:5,Blessed are those that are humble for they shall receive what God has promised.
We should notice the characteristic of Our Lord Jesus who describes himself in the following scriptures.Mathew 11:28” Take my yoke upon you and learn from me;for I am meek and lowly in heart.This Christ like quality of meekness is misunderstood in our contemporary world.
Meekness is developed through Godly desire,the righteous exercise in their morale and strive to retain the remission of sins.A spiritual gift to seek after.
We should remember however the purposes for which such a blessing is given, even to benefit and serve the children of God.As we submit to this attitude and prepare to follow Our Saviour eventually we tend to become more like Him.We are enriched in ourselves to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be more disciplined,controlled,composed and calm.
Moses was the most learned and wise one in the whole of Egypt in his words and deeds,yet he was meek amongst them all .Humans become proud in their abundance of knowledge and wealth.
We should learn from Our Spiritual Father,Jesus and also the gift of meekness that was evident in Moses that were instrumental to accomplish God’s purpose.
The Saviour’s meekness is eternally an essential experience for each of us to magnify the wisdom of God above our one’s own wisdom.
