“Blessed are the meek,

  for they shall inherit the earth.”

The meek man knows that his past, present and future rests in God. He has heard the gospel proclamation which says, "Come unto me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." The meek person who comes to Christ and trusts in him for his salvation is always at rest in God. Jesus Christ is his rest, no matter what circumstances he is facing.

A meek man is patient; he has a long view of life, knowing in the end it is not the wicked that win, but the meek. How can we be sure of this? The meek person knows that in the end God wins, and if God wins then the meek win. God himself tells us that the meek, not the wicked, will inherit the earth. The wicked may have a hold on the earth for a short time today, but the Lord tells us that when he comes back, the meek shall possess this earth. Psalms 76:9 "Then God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth".

Prayer:

Lord, I desire to trust in you completely, and hold onto your promise that on the day of judgment, evil will be defeated, and the meek shall inherit the Earth.
