Controlled Strength or Uncontrollable Weakness

My cousin reminded me that if I was still working on humility, that I was still just a babe in Christ! It jolted me man!!! He said that meekness is where I should be at.


He asked me what the definition of meek is and he told me "controlled strength". A dictionary def is "enduring injury with patience without resentment" & "not violently strong"! THAT TAKES SOME STRENGTH! It takes discipline for me to hold my tongue, follow the Bible, not think the wrong thoughts. Him saying that really created a whirlwind of thought on why we call Christ, LORD. Then I realized that while we are held accountable to our actions, our thought processes are not because no person hears our thoughts.
In this life, our actions our judged, not our thoughts.This is why it is MAJOR that we impart the Word Of God into the minds of our children. So what we think consistently is extremely major!


My cousin asked me what the opposite of "controlled strength" would be. I replied "uncontrollable weakness" - and by grace, this is when we have to find out that God's grace is sufficient and that in our weakness He is strong. But the Lord tries to tell us that we don't have to fall just to find the grace of God; because if we are constantly falling then how can we help someone else up? So He tries to reach us before we do wrong. God can show us if [we] are operating in controlled strength (meekness) or uncontrollable weakness.


So [we] call Him Lord in faith that His Words of compassion, love, control and wisdom will invade [our] thinking...better yet, [our] PERSPECTIVE, before thinking on doing wrong (or acting on negative impulse-according to God's standard).
Being meek means allowing Christ to truly lord over [our] thoughts to line up to His will for His glory. Also, this prevents unproductive or negative thinking from manifesting and instead [we] reap from positive and productive actions, thus..."the meek shall inherit the earth"....in other words, [we] are then more prone to succed than to fail while on this earth; all the way until after death. It's biblical principle.
