Meekness Made Simple

Strength under control. Gentle. Quiet. Strong.

The blessed gentleness of Christ — strength under control that inherits the
earth (Matthew 5:5).

The world has meekness backwards. Scripture does not picture the meek as
weak, but as strong: a war horse trained and brought under its rider's
control, losing none of its power and all of its wildness. Moses, "very meek,
above all the men which were upon the face of the earth" (Numbers 12:3),
stood down Pharaoh. Jesus, "meek and lowly in heart" (Matthew 11:29),
defeated sin and death without reviling His revilers.

In this Bible-first guide, Kimani Upshur, M.Ed., walks you through fourteen
Scripture-led chapters on true meekness: what it is, the promise that the
meek shall inherit the earth, the perfect example of Christ, meekness as the
fruit of the Holy Spirit, walking worthy in lowliness, putting meekness on
daily, taming the tongue, the meekness of wisdom, the gentle and quiet
spirit, being taught by God, correcting others gently, standing meek under
fire, restoring the fallen, and the glorious end of the story.

Includes a 14-question appendix to examine your heart, a conclusion, and a
closing prayer. Prayer to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy
Spirit — because meekness is received from God, never manufactured by
willpower.

Gentle. Quiet. Strong. That is meekness. That is Christ in you.
