"Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great."
Psalms 18:35
I love the idea here that gentleness (at least the Lord's) can make us great. This verse shows us a lot about the power of God... and it isn't in physical strength or the ability to control, but in gentleness, in allowing freedom, and in the hope of salvation. Because God is gentle and refuses to control us, we begin to know ourselves, and learn to walk the path, not because God demands it, but because we want to.
Today, let's find and emulate the greatness that is God's gentleness.
