All Things Serve

Meekness is essentially a true view of oneself, expressing itself in attitude and conduct with respect to others.

Meekness involves two things (1) our attitudes towards ourselves and (2) our attitudes toward others. The meek person is so sure of himself that he does not need to demand anything for himself. He does not see his rights as something to be rigidly held on to, but follows the spirit of Jesus. The Christian who is meek will not be over-sensitive about himself, or defensive, he realizes that he has no rights at all and delights to leave everything in the hands of God. When he is called upon to suffer unjustly, he remembers the Word of the Lord that says – it is mine to avenge, I will repay.

O Father, instill into me such a spirit of meekness that such things as anger, impatience, irritation, distrust, suspicion and unbelief die within me. Help me to see that only meekness must survive. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
