Matthew 5.5
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Personal Reflections This verse is a citation of Ps 37.11, which in essence contrasts the meek with the wicked. The meek are those who trust in the Lord and not take justice into their own hands. The meek are those who have power yet leash it under control. They will inherit the earth when God’s eternal purpose and plan are fully realised and the wicked shall be no more. They shall inherit the earth as promised to God’s people in the Old Testament when their enemies are completely eliminated and shalom is fully restored.
Do you constantly seek to be meek – to subject your power and autonomy under the will and control of God?
