Read Psalm 37:11, Matthew 11:29
Jesus says that He is meek, and that all those who surrender to His teachings and follow His ways shall inherit the earth.
So how does Jesus give the whole earth to more than one person? Jesus is not talking about the deed to the land or houses or material things. He is saying that the meek person, the person who has literally taken on Jesus’ yoke, will get everything out of life that is worth having. He will enjoy the fullness of the earth. Jesus doesn’t mean that the meek will have more wealth, but that by submitting his will to God, he will be given command over every situation. And because he values what God values, he sees life with new eyes. He’s not jealous, not wanting luxuries because someone else has something, not envious or coveting another person’s life or possessions.
The person who is inheriting the earth has attained inner peace. The inheritance is in knowing he has everything that really matters, and he is wanting for nothing.
Take time to thank God today for the inheritance He has blessed you with, especially the inner blessings of peace and contentment.
