The answer is: The earth

Matt 5:5

In Matthew 5:5, when Jesus says that the meek shall inherit the earth, He’s embodying a radical idea that was refreshingly countercultural at the time. The notion of "meekness" does not suggest weakness; rather, it reflects a deep strength and humility. It implies a quiet confidence, where gentleness prevails even amidst life's challenges—think of Moses, who is described in Numbers 12:3 as “the meekest man on the earth.”

Now, bearing the heart of biblical storytelling in mind, there's a tantalizing echo here akin to Psalms. Psalm 37:11 also aligns with this sentiment, declaring that "the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity." This isn’t just idle railings from a historical character; it connects ancient wisdom traditions with the revolutionary teachings of the gospel.

Those who embrace meekness navigate buoyantly through society's rough waters. The upside-down nature of God’s kingdom distinguishes the honorable from the power-hungry, addressing issues of social justice that are profoundly relevant today. Isn’t it worth pondering how frequently throughout human history, the truly impactful leaders have emerged from humble beginnings?

Moreover, connecting the innate longing to own something tangible—consider how common it is to draw people to cycle trails, nature reserves and beloved homes—one can only thrill at the idea that the meek shall partake in something Earth's full glory, inviting everyone to envision a more harmonious and less combative world. All of this speaks intergenerationally about promise, equity, and divine inheritance finding its life in depth of character, beyond merely wealth and façade.
