Message
Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word meek, as enduring injury with patience and without resentment; to be deficient in spirit and courage; not violent or strong. The world that is filled with boastful and haughty people considers the meek and lowly as weak or even foolish fellows. They see him as someone who cannot stand up for his right, a person or a child without courage or boldness. In a society where only the ‘strong’ and ‘daring’ can have the best, how could the meek be considered blessed? Christ is saying, salvation and forgiveness cannot be obtained by violence and force. Divine blessings are for those who humble themselves before God and consider themselves underserving of God’s favour. It is in the habit of lowliness and regret that we can qualify for God’s mercy and grace. The haughty thief on the cross missed Christ’s forgiveness while the humble and repentant one went with Christ to heaven.

Prayer for today: Lord, bless me with a meek and humble spirit that depends on You for all my needs.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
