God Quote-Blessed Are The Meek

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Matthew 5:5.

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”

One definition of meekness is strength through restraint. This is a quality of having humility toward God and gentleness toward people. Jesus taught us to be meek, and He demonstrated this quality at the cross. He had 72,000 angels at his disposal to defend Him, but He did not call for intervention. Instead, He went to the cross to demonstrate His mercy toward us. He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross. If we live out Ephesians 4:2, we will be honoring the word of the Lord to be meek. “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”

The promised future blessing for the meek is that they will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

Matthew 5:5-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
