MEEKNESS
In our society meekness is often looked upon as “wimpy”. If you don’t argue, get angry or get aggressive when confronted with confrontation of some type. Those people are always trying to take advantage of your kindness or patience if your demeanor portrays yourself as Meek. Meekness is not weakness. This view of meekness comes from the pride in us, which is our flesh and used by the enemy against us. In truth, meekness takes much courage and self control! A life of meekness is not weakness but is a testimony to others, allowing God character to reveal Himself through us. If we do not argue, complain, or backbite; but speak graciously and forgive generously, others will see and be drawn to the blessings of life with ‘Christ as Savior and Lord. They will see the power and authority of being a child of Gods’ and a discipleship of Jesus Christ. Doing the same things that He did. And God will be praised! Meekness is a strong weapon against the enemy. Blessed are the Meek they will inherit the earth!
