Seek to be Meek
Seek to be Meek
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew 5:5
Jesus said that He was meek…Matthew 11:29 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.
I’ve asked myself the question, “Am I Meek?”
So I wanted to know exactly what being meek was.
Meek: 1. Mild of temper; soft; gentle; not easily provoked or irritated; yielding; given to forbearance under injuries. 2. Appropriately, humble, in an evangelical sense; submissive to the divine will; not proud, self-sufficient or refractory; not peevish and apt to complain of divine dispensations.
Am I Mild of Temper?
Am I Soft?
Am I Gentle?
Am I not easily provoked or irritated?
Am I Yielding?
Am I given to forbear under injuries?
Am I Appropriate?
Am I humble when I evangelize?
Am I always submissive to God’s Divine Will?
Am I Not Proud?
Am I Self-Sufficient and rebellious to God’s teaching?
Am I peevish and apt to complain of godly convictions?
The answer to every one of these questions for me personally was…I am not meek.
Being meek goes far past being humble. Humility tells me who I am in view of Who Jesus is. Meekness is my display of who Jesus is in the view of others. Now the promise of this meekness would be counter productive if there is any materialism involved, because apparently the meek get it all. But in true meekness we will want Jesus more than anything material.
