Blessed are the meek,

for they shall inherit the earth.

Are you meek?

These meek, what do they do?

They endure.

Endure what?

Trouble.

Without complaint. With patience.

What if we believe this?

What if we believe we will inherit?

Inherit what?

Everything.

If we know that we will among those who inherit all things, then what?

We worry that we will run out of things.

I think he is talking about the new earth.

It will not have vast oceans.

There may be new kinds of animals.

Put this kind of thinking in your mind.

You will be among those who inherit everything.

In a sense, all is yours now. You are an heir.

Jesus Christ himself has not received all of his inheritance, yet.

Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger. Zephaniah 2:3

Now this is Old Testament stuff.

But remember, that statement is from God, too.

But Jesus gave a promise.

He said the meek will inherit the earth.

Meekness means strength under control. Imagine a soldier. He has weapons. He is well-trained to fight. Yet, he waits for orders. This is a definition of meekness.

The meek shall inherit the earth.
