Blessed are the Meek

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 58:14)

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. (Psalm 37:11)

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:18)

The meek shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth (see Matthew 5). Jesus was preaching from the scriptures when he preached the sermon on the mount. I like that. It is my aim to preach from the scriptures not my own ideas where I can. If anyone was able to preach truth without using scripture it was Jesus, but he still used the scriptures.
He used scriptures that not everyone recognised as scripture. The Sadducees did not recognise any scripture except the Torah (Genesis-Deuteronomy). But when specifically speaking to the Sadducees he taught them from the Torah (see Matthew 22). I aim to vary my preaching to meet my audience where they are at, like Jesus did.
Not only will the meek inherit the renewed earth, God will delight them with peace. Truly God brings joy, I don't fully understand how, but he has brought great joy to my life where there was little before. God refines the character and provides complete security, and these thing definitely produce joy.
