Wisdom is Worth more than all the Earth

Psa 25:9 KJV] 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Here we see the scriptures talk about how the meek will be guided in judgement by God. The spirit of God can move powerfully in a person who is humble and gentle. In the old testament judgment was mostly about judging behavior in respect to the law, but in the new testament we think of judgement being used in many respect as a sense of discernment, we are to test and judge all things and to assure they from God.

The Meek find rest for their Souls

Mat 11:29 KJV] 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

These are the words of Jesus saying He is meek and He is asking that we take on His yoke. What we need to understand about Jesus is He is not just saying for us to cast away our concerns, the bible says Jesus will carry our burdens and our sins, He will share in our troubles.

The Meek seek Repentance not Vengeance

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

A person with a meek disposition is not concerned with revenge or retaliation against their enemy. Those who are meek in a Godly sense are even more dangerous than a person who takes revenge on their enemy.

The Meek Produce a Spiritual Harvest

[Gal 5:22-23 KJV] 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Many times we think of meekness as a virtue that you are either born with or you’re not. And yes there are people who are humble and gentle in spirit, but this in and of itself does not grant them a Godly inheritance. A person can be so meek and humble that they are not able to defend the gospel against a small child … these type of people have no spiritual backbone.

Sacrifice for Molek??

  

Job 31:15 - Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers.

The good news is there are warriors in God’s army that are making a difference. One person can move mountains. Around the country there are abortion clinics closing down. This is by the power of prayer. If you feel there is nothing you can do, think again…..the question is, are you willing to take time out of your day to pray for these babies? To pray for an end to abortion, to pray that our nation’s leaders will see abortion for what it really is….murder!! Isn’t it interesting that if a pregnant woman is murdered, the murderer gets charged with TWO counts of murder??? Something doesn’t add up here. Yet no one seems to be up in arms about this contradiction.

Blessed are the Meek

Matt 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 

Being meek means you are gentle and humble in spirit, and in a biblical sense completely trusting and depending on God. We often hear about the fruit of the spirit, but we do not always hear about meekness in terms of a spiritual fruit.

We find Comfort in Community and not in our isolation

[2Cor 7:6-7] But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. 

The Apostle Paul is talking about how he was comforted by a visit from Titus a christian believer. Many of us withdraw from fellowship when trouble comes, but understand that when you do this you are refusing God’s design for being comforted, He wants us to be in community.

Comfort is not in Death, but in the resurrection

[1Co 15:21 NIV] 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

The sorrow we have when we lose a loved one is extremely painful for the surviving family and friend, the bible tells us that our hope is in the resurrection of Jesus, as opposed to the death that came through Adam. Belief in the resurrection of Jesus is our evidence we are Christians and as Christians we can find our comfort in knowing there will be a resurrection of the dead, or as the bible says it “those who are asleep in Christ”.
