The meek shall obtain fresh joy in The Lord, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
Meek is not one of those works I use a lot. I looked up the definition and the first part of it really struck me: Humbly patient. I like that. It's hard some times to be humble. It's hard sometimes to be patient. When things are spiraling out of control and I want to scream and take control, I need to ask myself "should I be humbly patient?" The promise in this Scripture is a great one - fresh joy. By being humble and patient and letting God have His way, I can have fresh joy. I think I can deal with that!
Isaiah 29 : 19
Father help me to be humble and meek. Help me not to think too highly of myself but subject myself to your will. Help me to know that by lowering myself and subjecting myself to your will, that you will raise me up and give me fresh joy in you.
