What It Means To Be “Meek “
What It Means To Be “Meek”
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
— Matthew 5:5
The Greek word praeis (πραεῖς), translated as meek, doesn’t mean timid, shy, or passive—as many of us have been taught to assume.
In its adjective form, this word was used to describe disciplined soldiers, trained war horses, and people whose strength was under control.
Meekness in the Beatitudes is a form of self-mastery. It describes a person who is disciplined enough to receive instruction and carry out their purpose—even in the face of daunting circumstances.
An inheritance is something we are given stewardship over. If we are to become the stewards of the world God intends us to be, we must develop and practice self-mastery in our words, our deeds, and even our thoughts and feelings.
We cannot allow ourselves to be triggered by the difficulties of the moment, no matter how great they are. We must be disciplined enough to stay on mission and on purpose at all times.
I’m Horace McMillon.
This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
Peace be with you.
