Meekness will be manifested in how we relate to others. That is, it's something that is active, something that will reveal itself in our words, attitudes, and actions. You might think that you are meek, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are. To be meek is to manifest it.
How do the following texts show us how meekness is to be revealed in our lives? Why is meekness so important in these situations?
Matt. 5:39
Matt. 18:21, 22
Gal. 6:1
2 Tim. 2:24, 25
Titus 3:2
Phil. 2:2, 3
As we've been saying all along, meekness is wrongly associated with weakness. It is anything but. In fact, go back over the verses we've looked at today. Can you not see how it takes strength, moral and spiritual strength, to reveal meekness in most of these situations?
Of course, if meekness is a fruit of the Spirit, it's something that comes to us from God and not from ourselves. Nevertheless, we need the daily surrender to the Lord, the daily willingness to obey in faith, in order for this to be made manifest in our lives.
