Posting Frenzy

If it seems that you have missed out on some of my post--that is o.k. I find that when God is speaking I need to let it out. So I have been doing some struggleing like the butterfly trying to get out of the cocoon. I work it all out by talking or I guess you could say writing. Which means lots of posting.
While over on Beth Moore's blog she advised us to go back and read a comment someone left. It was fantastic. I hope you enjoy it like I did.

MEEK ~

"The meek man, is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather, he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion and as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself. He knows he is as weak and helpless as God has declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is, in the sight of God, more important than angels. In himself, nothing; in God, everything. That is his motto. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring. He rests perfectly content to allow God to place His own values. He will be patient to wait for the day when everything will get its own price tag and real worth will come into its own. Then the righteous shall shine forth in the kingdom of their Father. His is willing to wait for that day.

In the meantime, he will have attained a place of soul rest. As he walks on in meekness he will be happy to let God defend him. The old struggle to defend himself is over. He has found the peace which meekness brings.

Then also he will get deliverance from the burden of pretense. By this I mean not hypocrisy, but the common human desire to put the best foot forward and hide from the world our real inward poverty. For sin has played many evil tricks upon us, and one has been the infusing into us of a false sense of shame." AW Tozer, The Pursuit of God.

Is that great or what?

Yesterday our pastor defined meekness as "strength under control" I loved that definition.
