Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)
Here it says that blessed are the meek, why they are blessed, because they will inherit the earth. The same words are found in Psalm 37:11.
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. (Psalm 37:11)
In some versions meek was translated as humble. In the Bible, meek or gentle and humble are often used together.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:29)
Lord Jesus wants us to learn from his gentleness and humility, that is, to learn from his gentle and humble in heart. He is the Son of God, he is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, but he is gentle and humble in heart. We should follow the example of Lord Jesus. Below we see that gentleness and humility are also related to obedience.
Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it. (Psalm 37:34)
In some versions it says that wait on the Lord and keep his way. So those who wait on the Lord, those who hope in the Lord, those who trust in the Lord, and those who keep his way will inherit the land. It says earlier that the meek and humble will inherit the land. By comparison, we see that obedience to God are related to gentleness, humility.
The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. (Psalm 37:29)
Here we see that the meek are related with the righteous, the righteous, those who practice righteousness, those who practice God’s righteousness, and those who practice what Bible says, will inherit the earth and dwell in it forever. In the future there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and those who practice righteousness will dwell in it forever, the meek will dwell in it forever.
May God bless you and your family. 🙏😊
Yesterday I posted the above message, this morning when I read the Bible, I came across the verse
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:29)
which I quoted in the sharing above. Thanks the Lord.
