Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
The next "upside Down" Beatitude is "Blessed are the meek" In today's society we think of meek as those who are wimps, weak, with no backbone. But the upside down reality of this is that Meekness" is actually a strength given by God that helps us handle the everyday problems of life and the big problems that we occasionally face, such as Corona Virus?
The "meek" are those who are humble, gentle, caring. It is disciplined strength that comes from God. It means NOT TO PANIC, Stay Calm and Trust the Lord. Know He is in control. It is self controlled, not by all the problems around us, but by the reality of God's Word and the Holy Spirit.
STAY CALM and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LORD!!!
a. The "Meek" can stay calm when faced with irritating people who try to get under their skin.
b. Even when they face the sickness or even death of a loved one - They Stay Calm.
c. When faced with financial problems they can stay calm because they are trusting the Lord to provide.
Let's be perfectly clear: With all that is going on right now, we ALL have a certain amount of fear and uncertainty. We have no idea of what is really going to happen in the next few months. BUT THE MEEK, have their eyes on the Lord and not on the money or the virus. God is much bigger that any of this. HE HAS A PLAN. As they say, "GOD's GOT THIS!!!
