Done yet? Good. Now shut up and pay attention. God forbid... you may actually learn something.
When Jesus was struck in the face and turned the other cheek... did He display weakness? Was Jesus weak or was He strong? The plain truth of the matter is Jesus was strong. He couldn't laid waste to those that insulted Him. But He did not. He was meek.
But this is the critical part... He had the power. He was strong. One cannot be weak... and display meekness. Meekness and weakness are actually mutually exclusive because biblically speaking meekness literally means power restrained. If there is no power... then there is nothing to restrain. You're just weak. You're not meek.
The world will not be inherited by weak people. The world will be inherited by powerful people who have mastered that power an restrain it. This is precisely the opposite of what the modern church teaches. It raises up weakness and celebrates it. It charges men to strive to be weak... then deliberately labels that weakness strength.
Power. Restrained.
Let that sink in.

Well said.
Very true. Meek ain't weak. Was Jesus weak when he kicked the moneychangers' butts in the temple? When he called the religious leaders a generation of vipers? When he fasted for 40 days in the wilderness (shoot I wouldn't last 40 hrs!)? No way! He was supremely strong and righteous. He had the strength to endure to the end-- for our sake. Good post. A pan-galactic devotional!
Glad y'all enjoyed it.
Nice to see you posting again. I hadn't checked for quite some time.
Damn right. That's really well said. There's a part of me that really longs to shove churchian gammas down the stairs... but I'm restraining it. Barely. It's hard to go to church and hold it in.
Thank God my own Dad isn't that way.
He's a pastor.
He's steeped in the Word.
He's 60 and has a six-pack.
He never cries.
lovely post ,,,, you have done a hard work on this post ,,,, congratulations!!
Amazing write up !!! well done ,,,
I have read many posts here. Many I thought hit the nail right on the head. You have outdone yourself here.
Thank you for it.
My missionary dad never had a six-pack, but he was not the modern cringing type either. First time he was pick-pocketed in Colombia, he realized who did it, grabbed the guy, lifted him up, slammed him against the wall and very meekly restrained himself from pummelling him while his wallet was VERY meekly returned to him.
Proper meekness begets meekness.

First of all I want to say excellent blog!
I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you
do not mind. I was curious to know how you center
yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had a hard
time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy
writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
