MEEKNESS YIELDING MY PERSONAL RIGHTS AND EXPECTATIONS WITH A DESIRE TO SERVE A calm temper of mind, not easily provoked MEEKNESS VS. ANGER

What provokes you? Someone telling you that you are wrong? Not getting praise for what you have done? Someone ignoring you? Someone yelling at you? A driver cutting In front of you? Someone lying to you?

Emotions Harness your emotions and learn to look past the situation. Most emotions come from getting our feelings hurt and feeling rejected or like a failure. Most circumstances of anger are caused because of someone getting defensive.

Outcome of the meek Ps 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Mt 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Scripture calls meekness something that is worth a great price with God. 1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

In order to stop the anger, you must be able to balance your emotions. We must learn to respond properly to the emotions and not be controlled by them. When we are controlled by our emotions, this leaves us vulnerable and dangerous to ourselves, family, and society. This is not a sign that you are sick in the head, it’s simply a lack of good character.

What is the solution? Three R’S Recognize reality: Stop, Look, and Listen to what is going on around you and ask yourself: “How much of this is me?” React with wisdom: What is going to be the best way to handle this situation in which the results will be pleasing to everyone. Respect the people that are around you.

Questionnaire Do you evaluate situations based on what you think without first caring about what others would think? Do you determine what upsets you, or do you just react? Do you blame others for most of the bad in your life? Do you seek out a solution to the character flaws that you have?

Keys to Meekness 1. M-Never Minimize your anger problem. 2. E-Stay Enthusiastic about life in general. Find something to be excited about. 3. E-Evaluate your way of thinking, find your character flaws. 4. K-Keep trying, never give up.

Staying Meek Mt 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Mt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Mt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Meekness requires one to take responsibility for their actions. Meekness requires one to yield their rights so others can see that power is not in who is in control, but who serves. Meekness demands respect vs. getting angry because you don’t have respect. Meekness requires one to control the mind, body, and spirit to serve that which is right and not wrong.

How to be meek Keep your voice calm and gentle. Choose words that show respect and love. Avoid little arguments. Take time to listen and understand. Avoid attitudes completely. Show respect in body language. Evaluate your thoughts and how you helped the situation.

Group Pick a partner in the room and pair off. Find out everything you can about that person in five minutes. Switch and reverse the role. Tell of the most important things that you learned about this person. What is meek about this person.
