To BE Attitudes: Blessed ARE the Meek...

Matthew 5:5. In the days we live, meekness is synonym of dumbness, brainlessness, stupidity, foolishness, etc. To me, one of the most amazing characters in the Bible is Moses. He was prince in Egypt and gave up on everything to become a meek servant: Numbers 12:3. Can we say that Moses was dumb or fool? Of course not! Another amazing character in the Bible is Jesus Christ, He left everything in heaven to become a meek servant man, just like Moses. Deuteronomy 18:15. Can we also call Jesus Christ dumb or fool? Of course not! Unfortunately, we are being taught by the world that we must be the best, we must win at all cost, we must be on the top of the pyramid, it doesn't matter how we get there, if we have to cheat, deceive, steal, ruin someone else's reputation, we must do it. The other day i was watching a documentary about Enron, what they did with the State of California, it was horrible, i couldn't believe the phone conversations and testimonies i heard, how those people could be so selfish and evil. Why is this generation so arrogant, prideful and selfish? Why is evil, the post-modern good? Paul addressed this issue in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. We are living in perilous times and more than ever we must follow Moses' example. Meekness is the path for greatness!
