“But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
Psalm 37:11 KJV
David recognised that only humility is what God responds to. “But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace.” Micah the prophet exhorted “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” Jesus put it this way, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” Jesus showed by example when He said, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.” It is the inner man of the heart, which is not corruptible, where the beauty of a meek and quiet spirit is and that in the sight of God is of great price. Grace, which is undeserved favour, is poured immeasurably out only to the meek. Grace is Jesus’s part but meekness and belief is our part - that’s how we are in union with Christ. Let’s learn humility and meekness which David learned so long ago. Amen!
