The Meek

Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE: 

Psalm 25:9 KJV The meek will He guide in judgment, and the meek will He lead in His way.

O- OBSERVATION: 

Many versions say humble but the KJV uses meek, to me meek really gets the point across. Isaiah 53:7 Says He was oppressed and afflicted yet He did not open His mouth, He was led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before it’s slaughter is silent, so he did not open His mouth. This verse is about Jesus, and even He did not open His mouth when accused. What about us, if we want God to guide and direct our paths, we need to be meek and humble. If we think we have all the answers, it’s nearly impossible for God to guide us.

A - APPLICATION: God’s word, His law, and His Gospel are for ears yearning to hear the sincere milk of the Word, that is the truth of scripture. Unfortunately, many a learned person selects those portions of Scripture he can agree with and disregards those portion they don’t like. That’s the opposite of meek and such an attitude leads us away from Jesus rather than to Him. May we always be meek in our reading and hearing God’s Holy and precious Word!

P - PRAYER: 

Gracious Father, help us to be meek, and open to the beautiful precepts of Your Word, so that our hearts may follow You with all we are and have right into eternity. In Jesus Name, Amen
