Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. — Matthew 5:5
I remember Pastor Warren Wiersbe almost thirty years ago telling us, "Meekness is not weakness; it is power under control." I don’t know if that’s original with him, but I like it.
A day is coming when the Lord will tear the earth away from the arrogant and the oppressors. Then it will be parceled up among those who never used their power to bring fear or grief to others. This is a statement about the meek, but it is a bigger statement about our God. He sees, He knows, He understands.
Be encouraged!
