Developing Meekness in Your Life and Mine
We’ve looked at man’s idea of meekness, and more importantly, the Bible’s view of meekness. Now what? What tools can we use to cultivate meekness in our daily lives?
One more confession: this isn’t (
ahem) the first time I’ve studied meekness. Several years ago, I was working to prepare a devotional on this passage from 1 Peter 3:
Do not let your adorning be external the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. (vv. 3–6)
