Meekness Demonstrated:

• Abraham (Gen 13): Willing to lay aside his rights and consider others over himself.
• Moses (Numbers 12): When challenged, is not defensive.
• David (1 Samuel 26): Strength and conviction to respond with grace.
• Jesus (Matthew 11:29): Completely surrendered His power to His Father.

Meekness Defined: An inner quality of humility that is reflected outwardly in how we deal with others.

Meekness on Display:

• Speech Test
• Servant Test
• Success Test

Meekness Dividend: An inheritance we can count on!

Take Home Idea: Our humility in our relationship to God ought to be reflected in our gentleness and humility as we deal with others.
