A friend of mine and I are doing a Nancy Leigh DeMoss study on having a meek and quiet spirit and we have also done 30 days of praying for our husbands. There are many more studies and prayer challenges on her site Revive our Hearts which I highly recommend. There is a section called Grow where you can print off downloads and there are several different ones to choose from. Everything she puts out is straight from scripture and is very solid and encouraging.
So, we just began our study on having a meek and quiet spirit and I wanted to share a scripture that really spoke to me.
"In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security. Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, the one that remains faithful. The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust. The foot will trample it, the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless. The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level. Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; for when the earth experiences Your judgments the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness." -Isaiah 26:1-9
Y'eshua himself says "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30
The meek will react to circumstances with peaceful trust, seeking Him diligently, and resting in His perfect plan for our lives.
