The answer is: The earth

Matt 5:5

In Matthew 5:5, Jesus beautifully states, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." This statement is part of the Beatitudes, a collection of sayings at the very heart of Jesus' teachings. Here, the term "meek" is often seen as referring to humility or gentleness, reminding us that greatness doesn't come from domination and power, but from kindness and a lowly spirit.

You might be surprised to learn that this idea doesn't exist in a vacuum. It echoes throughout biblical history, encouraging humility in both leaders and everyday folks. Interestingly, this concept is reminiscent of Psalm 37:11, which also proclaims, "But the meek shall inherit the land." There’s a consistent theme here; true fulfillment and strength are found in gentleness and peace.

Trivia enthusiasts might like to know that the original Greek word used for "meek" is "praus," which conveys not just passivity but strength under control, much like a powerful horse that is tamed. Meekness isn't about weakness but embodies a confident understanding of one's place and power in the grand scheme of things.

This viewpoint would challenge prevailing notions of success, spotlighting the destined rise of those often overlooked by society. For followers of this pathway of humility, it promises not only spiritual nourishment but also victory through peace in a world that sometimes seems to celebrate the opposite.
