Meekness is not Weakness
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
(Matthew 5:5)
Meekness is not weakness.
Meekness is an attitude of humility toward God and gentleness toward men, springing from a recognition that God is in control.
It is strength and courage under control, coupled with kindness.
Meekness is an attitude toward God in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting.
We see this in the Lord Jesus Christ who found His delight in doing the will of His Father.
The meekness manifested by the Lord Jesus Christ and commended to the believer is the fruit of power.
The Lord Jesus Christ was meek because He had the infinite resources of God at His command.
He could have called angels from heaven to prevent His crucifixion.
The Lord Jesus Christ told His weary, burdened followers, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matt. 11:29).
The Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect model of meekness.
As a fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:23), meekness is a virtue that should characterize the Christian.

God Sees Everything
And we know that all things work together
for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.
- Romans 8:28 -
It may take us some time to realize.
We may have to go through many hardships before we learn this truth.
But eventually we will know that God is in control of our lives.
God is sovereign. He sees and knows all things. He is all powerful. Nothing escapes His attention.
Nothing is hidden from Him.
It is a promise for those who love God.
God promises to turn everything to good. God will bring the best out of every good or bad situation.
All things work together for good. Whether good or bad, sad or happy, great or small, they are there for our good.
Some people see it right away.
Some people have trouble realizing it.
For those who love God and seek to do His will, this promise gives them the confidence and encourages them to persevere and keep the faith.
God is in control. Who can be against Him? Whom shall I fear?
God calls His people to faith in His own time, according to His purpose.
God’s eternal plan will be completed. His plan for His people can never be stopped.
All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
