Many people associate meekness with weakness, viewing it as a flaw. Yet, Jesus challenges this worldly view by teaching that "the meek shall inherit the earth"—not the powerful. In biblical terms, meekness is not weakness; it is "strength under control." It means surrendering all authority to God, acknowledging that He alone holds ultimate power. Meekness is the conscious decision to refrain from self-defense, trusting that God will act on our behalf. This reflects a spirit of humility. As Martin Lloyd-Jones wisely put it, "To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending." Amen!
