Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the
meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Most
people associate meekness w/ weakness but not at all what it means.
The
word “meek” was used to describe the taming of a wild animal. So meekness is
really power under control. It’s a person whose life has been brought under
control of the Holy Spirit.
The
first 3 beatitudes correspond to the steps we take in becoming a Christian? We
recognize that we are “poor in spirit” – that we are spiritually bankrupt.
Then
our sin begins breaking our hearts – we mourn over the sin in our lives.
Finally submit to God. Living
in submission to God is the key to experiencing His greatest blessings in our
lives.
God
Bless,
Tim
