Meekness isn’t weakness

Meekness ISN’T -Apathy -Timidity -False Humility

Meekness IS: POWER UNDER CONTROL

“The praus person, (the meek person), is the one who feels anger on the right grounds, against the right person, in the right manner, at the right moment, for the right amount of time.” -Aristotle

Romans 12:3. “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”

Meek people have a true view of themselves.

“What if the meek don’t want it?”

…11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, Psalm 37 : …11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 22 For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off. 34 Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Matthew 5:5 (The Message) 5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
