Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5

This scripture may lead many to believe, that meekness means weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we are weak, Christ’s strength increases within us. Being meek is allowing God to harness our ability by submitting to His authority. In all things, not simply the things we choose. It allows God to deposit precious treasure purchased for us by Christ, within our lives. Eternal treasures, that sees us through the rough places, enabling us to bear up under insult and persecution; give a soft answer in exchange for harsh words; love the unlovable and always be available as an extension of His forgiveness, patience, kindness, compassion, mercy and love to our fellow man. That is true power and strength.

Prayer

We come before You with submissive hearts, seeking You and desiring to be transformed. We are glad that in our weakness, through Your Son Jesus Christ, we have been made strong. Deposit Your precious and immeasurable treasures within our hearts, that we may be a continual extension of You to the world, in Jesus name we ask, Amen.
