mEEknes the wAy to FLY....... s
Did you know that in the beatitudes, lie great and deep truths, today i focus only on Matthew. 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth"
which highlights the blessedness of the meek by inheriting the KINGDOM OF GOD!
BUT the meaning and understanding portrayed in the word MEEK possess a different facet than that which we sadly tag to it! meekness in today's context is identified with weakness and feebleness, whereas in ancient times (Biblical times) because the kings of that time ruled with pride and arrogance, the Bible differentiated the godly leaders as meek! (not weak, but rather humble, even despised yet with good intent in their doing of things)
hence the meaning being expressed in both Psalm 37:11 "But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity" and Mathew 5:5. The word meek posses the element of humble pride in-comparison to the element of weak which many weigh it down with!
"meekness IN Biblical times possessed a totally different facet than that which we tend to picture it with today, that of weak as compared to that of humble pride"

my desire is for many if Not ALL to see reality and Biblical concepts from the view and perspective of God, our creator!
