Meekness

The word sounds like sheep's 'mbeek...'
It sounds 'weak', quite literally.
It doesn't give motivating effect.
Neither do you find this word often in Bible.

And to begin with.. do you know what it mean?

Meekness indeed has kind of 'soft' and 'powerless' feel to it.

But Jesus says this:
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

And Jesus himself, is meek.

True meekness.. is not powerless.
True meekness.. is power under control.

The meek are those who, despite having power to do certain things, decide not to do so. Why? out of humility, out patience, out of love.

it's when you know how to shoot back at your enemy, or how to shoot him down, but you decide not to.

So meekness is one thing that takes enormous strength to master.
Neither would many people want to know about it.

We are living in generation that feeds on feels-good words such as blessing, love, grace, authority, dominion, power, success, etc.

But as grace find its meaning in holiness,
So does power find its meaning in meekness.
Otherwise, it will only corrupt.

Now it makes sense:
Only the meek are worthy to inherit the earth.
