Perfect Peace
“But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” Psalms 37:11 NKJV
The mystery of meekness cannot be unveiled until its mess with Moses is revealed. Despite his assessment as the meekest of men on earth, he failed to inherit the land of Canaan. Soberly, had Moses not interceded passionately for his sheep - the Israelites - against God’s intention to destroy them in the wilderness, wouldn’t a softened passion have sustained his passage to inherit the land of Canaan? Rather, the meek Moses preferred the defense of the glory of God to the pursuit of personal glory. Obviously, in spite of his error of unbelief at the water of Meribah, the latter end of Moses still sustains the scriptural revelation “But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace“. The perfect peace with God and inheritance of the best of earth’s glories belong to the meek. Apart from Moses’ eternal bliss with God in heaven, he was privileged to accompany Jesus Christ on the mount of transfiguration at the revelation of His glory on earth. Therefore, perfect peace and the true inheritance of the earth belongs to the meek; and those who are neither deceived nor discouraged by the fabrication of any form of unrighteousness for polluted peace.
