Meekness: Strength Under Control

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” ~Matthew 5:3

God has 2 dwellings: one in heaven and the other in a meek and thankful heart. ~Izaak Walton

WWJD? Reflection: Jesus was a walking example of meekness, which has been defined as “strength under control.” When we ask, “What Would Jesus Do?” our answer must include accepting a meek attitude. This means deliberate turning away from temptations to pride. The best way to cultivate meekness is to become aware of the miracle of God’s strength residing in such a weak vessel as us.

I grew up Catholic, then became a prodigal -- as lost and anyone could be. After finding myself in an impossible situation, I prayed to God for help. That led me on a quest for the truth about God. Unknowingly, I ended up in a Progressive Church -- United Church of Christ. They were very friendly, took my in and they became my church family. Not teaching salvation directly, they indirectly got me to start reading the Bible. Fast forward to the late 90s. The whole world was worried about Y2K. The world was supposedly going to end when the clocks on every computer turned to 2000. Consequently, that got me interested in Bible Prophecy. If this was the end of the world, certainly the Bible, the Word of God, would have answers to my questions. Then, in a catalog, I saw the book, "Left Behind". I was intrigued. I read it. There was a pastor who was left behind after the Rapture of the Christian born-again believers. Huh?! A pastor?! He said he had book knowledge of Jesus. But he didn't know Jesus in his heart. Wise authors put the sinners prayer at the end of that chapter. I though to myself, "Am I going to get left behind?" I didn't know. I wasn't sure. I prayed the prayer. At that moment, I was saved. I had my heavenly passport stamped. My transformation started. The problem was that I was still attending the Progressive church where they did not teach the true way to be saved. It took me 11 years for me to truly listen to God and follow HIM only. I was finally baptized AGAIN in 2006. In 2019, I heard the Holy Spirit prompting me to become a Voice Crying in the Wilderness preparing the way of the Lord. So I started this blog and podcast. Listen/watch my full testimony.
