The Power of Meekness

Matthew 5:1-5 (NKJV) And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”

Matthew 11:28-30(NKJV) Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 19:30 (NKJV) “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Psalm 25:9 (NKJV) The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way.

Matthew 5:5 (TLB) “The meek and lowly are fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to them.”

Matthew 5:5 (MSG) “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are —no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”

James 1:21 (NKJV) Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

1. A repentant heart.

3. A responsive life.

James 1:22-25 (NLT) 22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.
