The world teaches you to promote yourself and to demand your own rights. I am calling you to live with a meek heart and attitude. Meekness is not weakness, although many misunderstand it to be that. Meekness is living with an understanding of who you are in Me and the power you have in Me. Meekness is living with the strength and power you have received from Me in a controlled manner. When you know who you are and whose you are, you don’t have to promote yourself and demand your rights because you know I will provide for you and recognize you for who you are and what you do. I am able to see that your rights are taken care of and that you are lifted up in due time. Your role is to walk closely beside Me with a meek heart, and I will provide for you.
Psalm 118:14
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Dear God,
There is such a temptation to attempt to live independently and to promote myself for future gain. Forgive me when I give in to these temptations. I know that I am nothing without You and that I need to walk closely by Your side. Help me to stop trying to live in my own strength and to live dependent on You. I pray that our church will resist trying to do things ourselves and will instead allow You to do the seemingly impossible through us also.
In Jesus’ name,
