CONNECT 20

    Thursday

    INTRO

    We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.


    Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.


    As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.


    Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

    SCRIPTURE

    'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' - Matthew 5:519

    DEVOTIONAL

    Meekness might sound like weakness to our ears, but Jesus reveals something far more powerful. True meekness is strength under the authority of God—like a powerful horse responding perfectly to its rider's gentle touch. When we've experienced spiritual poverty and mourned our sin, we naturally develop meekness. We stop fighting for our rights and start trusting God's timing. We quit demanding our way and begin seeking His will. This isn't passive resignation but active submission to the One who knows what's best. Meekness means we no longer need to prove ourselves or defend our reputation. We find our security in God's evaluation rather than the world's applause. When criticized, we can listen humbly. When overlooked, we can serve faithfully. When mistreated, we can respond with grace because our worth isn't determined by how others treat us. The promise to the meek is inheritance of the earth. While the proud grasp for control and lose everything, the meek receive God's kingdom and find themselves blessed beyond measure. They discover that surrendering control actually gives them access to everything that truly matters.

    PRAY

    Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

    SHARE

    After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

    *Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
