Meekness - Strength under Control
Meekness is disciplined strength under control, not weakness or passivity. True meekness is the deliberate, spiritual choice to use power with gentleness and self-restraint for God's glory; it is complete submission to God's will, requiring immense inner strength.
It is not manufactured but a byproduct of faith—the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) that purges pride. Genuine meekness requires God's intervention and enables us to receive His word (James 1:21), leading to inheritance (Matthew 5:5).
In marriage, meekness is powerful emotional intelligence, prioritizing peace over the need to be right, such as choosing to "let him fuss."
To cultivate it: Embrace Humility; Practice Patience; Submit to God's will; Seek Guidance; and Serve Others. Finally, surrender personal anger and the urge for retaliation to access God's superior, powerful defense.
