Chapter 4, Day 2

"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth." Matt 5:5

As I have posted before, this study is taking us through the Sermon on the Mount. In this chapter we are learning about being "gentle". "Meek" or "Meekness" is often translated "Gentle" or "Gentleness". Meekness is one of those words in the Bible that I have always heard and thought that I understood but never really took the time to go "deeper" and study...until now.

What a great first day of study and reading so far, learning more about meekness. Here is a quick summary with what Kay describes as meekness:

"Meekness speaks of a submissive and trusting attitude towards God. It is an attitude which accepts all of God's ways with us as good. It does not murmur or dispute. It neither rebels nor retaliates. It realizes that what comes to us from the hand of man has been permitted by God's sovereignty, has been filtered through His fingers of love, and will be used by God for His glory and our ultimate good. ... Meekness looks beyond circumstances - no matter how upsetting and hurtful - and bows the knee to the sovereign God."
