Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” The word meek is difficult to translate into English and, therefore, often misunderstood by English readers. Biblical meekness is humble and controlled strength. How can you demonstrate this kind of strength without unnecessary harshness in a world that desperately needs God’s justice and righteousness? Ask for God’s help to display Biblical meekness as you advocate for those who have less power than you.
