Beloved,
One of the fruit of the spirit that should regularly be demonstrated in and through our lives is Meekness. Meekness is not weakness but strength under control.
Jesus was meek but not weak! It takes the strong to go through the crucifixion, and to do so for others, when you don’t have to! Matthew 11:29.The meek are not haughty or high-minded. They are not huffy-puffy toward those who don’t have as much, or are not as well known, or are not as talented as they are BLESSED to be.
Moses was very meek. He did not think that only he qualified to be anointed by God! Numbers 11:29. Moses did not try to defend his God-appointed position when it was challenged, he let God do so. Numbers 12:1-10. There are plenty of lessons for all of us there. Meekness is humility and the humble do not flaunt their position.
Fortunately we don’t have to “get” meekness. The force of Meekness is already in us along with the other spiritual forces of Love, Joy, Peace etc. We just have to exhibit Meekness more regularly. It would do us good because the meek are always candidates for promotion by God. 1 Peter 5:5,6; Matthew 5:5.
Be a BEREAN this week and live in GOSHEN!
Acts 17:10-12; Exodus 8:22.
I love you!
