1. Blessed are the meek (5)
The bold and aggressive seem more likely to take over the earth; but Jesus promises that the meek will inherit it. Who are the meek? Jesus was meek (Mt 11:29 KJV). Moses was meek (Nu 12:3 RSV). Meek people are humble. They do not use their power for themselves; they do not use strength to exploit or crush others; they use it to serve. Those who have the mind of Jesus are truly meek. They will be entrusted with the stewardship of the world.
2. Those who hunger for righteousness (6)
Jesus promises those who hunger and thirst for righteousness that they will be satisfied. In a world full of people who lust for power and pleasure, who talk about gourmet food and are full of physical desire, it is not easy to give spiritual desire priority. But those who have spiritual desire will be satisfied. On the other hand, those whose physical desires control them will always be dissatisfied.
Prayer: Lord, teach me your meekness; clothe me in your righteousness.
One Word: Blessed are the meek
