The Eight Beatitudes
Blessed Are the Meek
They Shall Inherit the Earth
Description
Meekness is not weakness but strength under divine control—the tamed power of a disciplined spirit. The meek are gentle, humble, and patient under provocation, submitting to God's will rather than asserting their own rights. Moses, the meekest man on earth, demonstrated tremendous leadership authority exercised with profound humility. The meek inherit the earth—not through aggressive conquest but through patient trust in God's sovereign disposition. While the proud grasp and lose, the meek receive and keep.
Key Verses
