Christian Character & Conduct - 2017
Weekly Devotional - Week 26

But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 37:11
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5

The word meek is a word often used as a negative, suggesting weakness. But, in true understanding -- God’s economy -- it is a bold statement of the ultimate in self-control, as strengthened by God’s Holy Spirit. This two-passage complement (Psalm and Matthew above) tells us that to apply meekness to our Christian Conduct actually yields blessing! Inheriting the earth is the reward for this practice. Truly this thought would require some pondering. We know that a life that is surrendered to God and led by the Holy Spirit will yield God’s peace. Help us Lord to desire meekness in the practice of our daily lives. Amen.
