--THE MEEK OF THE EARTH~~
“Seek ye the LORD all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.” -----(Zephaniah 2:3) --This phrase, “the meek of the earth,” occurs three times in the Bible (see also Psalm 76:9, which promises their salvation; and Isaiah 11:4, which assures them justice). Our text promises deliverance from God’s wrath. “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5), said Jesus, referring to the promise of Psalm 37:11: “But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” There are many other similar promises: “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way” (Psalm 25:9). “He will beautify the meek with salvation” (Psalm 149:4), so we need to put on “the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Peter 3:4). --The Lord Jesus defined meekness in terms of His own human character: “Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart” (Matthew 11:29).A meek spirit enables a Christian to maintain composure in the face of opposition, to accept adversity without complaint, promotion without arrogance, demotion without resentment. It produces a peace that no trouble can disturb and that no prosperity can puff up.
Therefore, as our text commands: “Seek meekness!” Jesus Christ, showed 'His Amazing Love', by dying so we can live forever. ** If you have not accepted His 'free gift' of salvation, please do it now. 1) Confess you are a sinner in need of Him, Jesus, as your Savior, Lord, and Creator.
2)Admit that you accept His (free-gift), by dying on the Cross for the forgiveness of your ['personal'] sins. It wasn't free for Jesus. He had to pay our sin-debt. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for sins." -(Hebrews 9:22) 3)'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.' "For there is no other Name given among men whereby we must be saved." --(ACTS 4:12)
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (JOHN 14:7)~
