COT:
Thinking about the word “meek.”

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5)

Sometimes people are described as meek and mild. Meek is used as a synonym for weak. One might think of a submissive, timid, young person.

Truly though, “Meekness” is a humble attitude that expresses itself in the patient endurance of offenses. “Gentleness” is a practical synonym. It implies mercy and self-restraint. Meekness is not weakness. The word meek from the original language was used to describe reining in a stallion. It is the idea of a horse being controlled by a bit and bridle. The horse is choosing to submit to authority. That is meekness. It is power under constraint.

Proverbs says, “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city” (Proverbs 16:32). In contrast, the individual who is not gentle is likened to “a city that is broken into and without walls” (Proverbs 25:28). Gentleness always uses its resources appropriately, unlike the out-of-control emotions that so often are destructive.

Let’s be meek men who are self controlled. Let us be self controlled, ruling over our own body, mind, and spirit. I’ve shared before about losing my temper with my kids. I am often undisciplined with my diet. I want to grow in meekness, and be self controlled in all areas of life.
