The Upside-Down Kingdom
Scripture: Matthew 5:5 (NIV)
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."
Message: Jesus' teachings often seem paradoxical. In a world that values power and assertiveness, He tells us that the meek will inherit the earth. This challenges us to reconsider our definitions of strength and success.
Reflection: How does the idea of meekness as a strength challenge your worldview? In what areas of your life could embracing meekness lead to unexpected blessings?
Prayer: Jesus, help me understand and embody the counter-cultural values of Your kingdom. Give me the courage to be meek in a world that often misunderstands this virtue. Amen.
