Blessed Are the Meek

Blessed are the meek;

For they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5

We have come to equate meek with weak,

But that was not Jesus' meaning.

Being meek meant being controlled,

Having great spirit and energy,

But channeling both to good purpose.

Like a great stallion that has been trained

To obey a rider and does it superbly,

We must be meek

And allow God to command our spirit.

If we yield our will to God

And obey,

We will inherit the earth.
