not a pop discussion inwards today's self-esteem culture.
But it's a pop discussion inwards God's Book.
Sometimes translated "gentleness" (Ephesians 4:2), meekness makes a someone sensitive to the feelings of others, merely non sensitive to their ain (i.e. non easily offended). Meek people aren't peevish, proud, or self-focused. They're God-esteemers in addition to God-servers non self-esteemers in addition to self-servers.
In our world, the self-assertive, self-assured, self-promoters inherit the treasures.
But there's a split Kingdom on earth, strategically preparing to dominion all of history in addition to eternity. The meek are leaders inwards that Kingdom in addition to they volition inherit that Kingdom's treasures (Matthew 5:5).
Unfortunately, few of us are truly meek.
I'm not.
I'm also easily offended at times, also self-focused in addition to self-dependent. I involve to pray more, trust more, perish to self more.
If you lot tin lay alongside whatever of these sins, bring together me today inwards praying for meekness.
Let's inherit!
