The answer is: They will inherit the earth

Matt 5:5 - a blessing taken from Psa 37:11.

The statement "the meek shall inherit the earth" is a gem from the Sermon on the Mount, a radical teaching that flips worldly values on their head. Instead of advocating for power, dominance, and aggression, Jesus elevates those who are humble and gentle. It's fascinating how this idea hearkens back to Psalm 37:11, where the psalmist speaks of the rewards of those who trust in God and live righteously.

In ancient culture, meekness was often seen as a weakness, something to be trampled underfoot in a society that valued conquest, strength, and aggression. But here, Jesus reframes it—resourcefully turning the notion of who actually "inherits" the earth to include the kind, gentle, and peaceful individuals of society.

Did you know that the process of inheritance implies intimacy rather than conquest? To inherit something means to be part of a family or community. That highlights the depth of connection that the meek possess with the divine and with each other.

Think of all the historical figures acknowledged for their humility, from peacekeepers to hungry revolutionaries fighting for justice—in each discovery, we see echoes of meekness transforming societies. So next time you come across what seems like a mighty struggle, consider that meekness has its rightful place in a world frantically chasing after glory. Keeping a humble heart amidst chaos may just be the strongest stance you can take!
