Numbers 12:3
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
Who woulda thunk it !
Moses, was a very meek man.
....according to scripture [God] !
Psalms 37:11
......the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
I guess, it all depends upon what God's definition of 'meek' is then.
Scripture records, that Moses usually, deferred to what God wanted.
Dictionary;
defer = = submit humbly toAn example, of the behaviour, of the meek man, Moses, when confronted by the proud man.....
Numbers 16:1
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
3
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
4 And when Moses heard it,
he fell upon his face:
5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
"......the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him:
even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him."
'Salvation', isn't for everyone.
Humility, and meekness, before God, isn't for everyone.
Psalms 34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psalms 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Q.What does the word 'contrite' mean ?
Look it up.
Contrite,
is what Jesus told us, to be, before our God.
