“Blessed are the
meek for they shall inherit the earth”
Doesn't seem to work in our day to day, does it?
Everything in adulthood seems to scream “Take Control of Me.”
When something goes awry in the office or home, the first job is to
assign blame, the same goes with life. No one wants to be blamed for
allowing things to get out of hand.We carry the huge temptation to be
lord over our own lives but Jesus wants to rule.
Someone will sit on the throne of our hearts, needing to be in
control all the time, says its you.
Jesus will assuredly do a better job seeing to your affairs.
Meekness, is not something you put on your resume, it is patience in
the face of insults. Barnes' Notes on the Bible puts it this way:
“Meekness produces peace.
It is proof of true greatness of soul. It comes from a heart too
great to be moved by little insults.” These are individuals that
hold to the truth of the entire Bible, they believe in Romans 8:28.
They have faith that God will do what He promises.
-Jean-Marc
