A Wrap On Meekness

 Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word:

 

Today, we will wrap up and hopefully clarify for you, the amazing benefits of being meek! Let me list some of the other bennies specifically mentioned in the Bible that are reserved for the meek.

 

Do you want to have more awareness of the Lord in your life? Be meek!

Ps 22:26 – the meek shall eat and be satisfied -  Ps 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

 

Do you want guidance from the Lord? Be meek!

Ps 25:9 – the meek shall be led in the right way and taught the right way.

 

Do you want peace? Be meek!

Ps 37:11 – the meek will inherit the land and have abundant peace.  (Because God is now doing their fighting.)

 

Do you want vindication? Be meek! Isa 11:4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

 

And,

Ro 12:19 "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

 

 

Looking for joy in your life? Be meek!

Isa 29:19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

 

And of course as we shared a couple of days ago in this blog, it is the meek spouse who opens the doors of possibility of saving their mate.

 

How fortunate are those who have surrendered their strength to God, because now, their strength is under His perfect control.

 

And it is those who have surrendered their power to God who will inherit the earth.

 

It makes perfect sense doesn't it? 

 

The meek will inherit the earth because they have voluntarily yoked themselves to God, and now everything that is God's is theirs and God owns the earth.....now and forevermore. 

 

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. It is in His power to use it in any way He sees fit. He will allot the earth's resources to the meek through His perfectly measured strength and time. Tap into it. If you've already received Christ the gift of meekness is present.......allow God to observe it in your life, and use it for His glory.

 

A.W. Tozer once wrote, The meek man …..has stopped being fooled about himself. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life. He knows he is as weak and helpless as God declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is in the sight of God of more importance than angels. In himself, nothing; in God, everything. That is his motto."

 

This is what it is to be meek. It is simply to look to God for all your power and strength, and let Him act.
