How many meek people have you known in your life? Abraham was meek. Moses was meek and of course Jesus was meek. Do we even know what meekness is? The dictionary defines meekness as being mild, submissive, moderate, and humble. Someone has defined meekness as restrained strength. I like that. Jesus' humble strength is what brings forth justice. The meek person does not seek to hold on to their position. He is ok with others turning on the searchlights when it comes to his sin. He/she is teachable. Think for a moment how that helps us with spiritual things. How blessed we are when we realize there is nothing in our hands that we bring to Jesus, but simply to His cross we cling.
