Blessed Are the Meek
Good morning
Worship song: Let the Peace of God Reign
Meditation:
It is difficult to maintain your composure and remain calm, gentle, and peaceful among those who display hostile and arrogant behavior. Still, we must possess the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit, which serve as evidence to prove that we are truly children of God. While Jesus sat with the multitude and his disciples, he taught them about the beatitudes and the reward of possessing such qualities. One of the beatitudes that are important in the life of a child of God is having the spirit of meekness. Meekness is an attribute of the Savior that is desperately needed today. It is a spiritual gift obtained through the Holy Spirit.
Those who possess such qualities have a
humble attitude that expresses wisdom, self-control, patience, and a calmness
that is not easily provoked. Being meek does not mean you are a coward, it
shows that you are pursuing righteousness, godliness, gentleness, perseverance,
and patient endurance of offenses. Jesus refers to the meek as blessed. He
that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh a city. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a
city that is broken down, and without walls. As children of God, let us seek
earnestly to obtain meekness, and be kind to one another. Let us be mindful of
how we react to criticism, slander, or unjust treatment.
Let us pray:
Everlasting Father, slow to anger, matchless in splendor
and power, faithful to all generations, you are good and your mercies endure
forever. Almighty God, most holy and righteous, at your feet I bow, seeking to
dwell daily in your presence, for you are the true and living wise God who
liberates and frees us from spiritual bondages. Grant us enduring strength, the
spirit of meekness, and hearts that know how to withstand difficult times and
the malicious acts of the ungodly. Almighty God, I earnestly wait upon you to
equip us with the fruit of the Spirit. Empower us, O God, with patience, the
peace of God, gentleness, love, and compassion so that we may display the
attributes of our Savior, and shine as children of light through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Have a wonderful day. 💕🙌🙏
