"THE MEEK WILL HE GUIDE IN JUDGMENT." Meekness is a virtue. The meek are conscious of their ignorance. They feel the need of teaching. They are desirous of being taught. They especially desire to be taught of God. They feel unworthy of the least mercy at God's hand; and yet, because He has promised, they seek and expect the greatest. Meekness is especially pleasing to God; and the meek may have any favour at His hands. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." The Lord will teach them "His way"; the way in which He pardons, justifies, and saves sinners; the way in which He would have them walk through this world; the way of escape which He opens in seasons of danger and temptation; the way in which He confounds the crafty, overturns the devices of His foes, and crushes the oppressors of His people. He will teach them the way of peace, and they shall enjoy it; the way of holiness, and they shall walk in it; the way of salvation, and they shall persevere in it. He will unfold to them His word, confer on them His blessing, walk with them in fellowship, and make them to possess durable riches and righteousness. The meek are heaven's favourites, the church's adornment, and the world's truest friends.

For Meditation:
Make me, Saviour, as Thou art,
Poor in spirit, meek in heart:
Then may Thou my teacher be,
And my soul shall cleave to Thee.
