Matthew 5:5
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Meekness is relying on God to tend the situation. Not allowing the circumstances or people to undermine ones attitude. Knowing God will protect or use the difficulty to grow us and the Kingdom around us.
The meek/gentle will not be forgotten. Those who value a gentle relationship with others and promoting peace more than demanding their rights or being recognized will have an inheritance.
This inheritance is not the planet Earth, but land. A portion.
What if the meek people of God were intended to be called to an assigned area? Not just in the spiritual but in the literal as well?
And that there is more value to being meek towards those that hate us than making certain they know they are wrong? What if our inheritance is tied to the people in the land as much as the land? Can we, through the Spirit, declare the land and its occupants as our inheritance? Yes, I believe we can. And should!
But it requires more than just declaring it. It requires a meek mindset. Coming to grips with the fact that we need to be gentle in spirit. We need to be malleable by God to do the work.
We can easily go about as God’s people and see the wrong being done. That is not hard to do at all. Abortion, sexual promiscuity (openly and promoted even to our children). Immoral and illegal politics. Hatred on a scale no one has ever seen before. And how do we respond? Jesus said to turn the other cheek. That is for the violence brought upon ourselves. He said to love those that hate us. We must never compromise and acquiesce to the sin that so fills the Earth now, but meekness will bring love and mercy to those that don’t deserve it. Mostly because none of us do.
The meek are happy and blessed because God has given them a place to love not a place to hate and condemn. Can we walk in that place?
