"The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:"
Psalms 147:6-7
I really like these verses tied together because I think that part of meekness is being thankful, and offering praise to God. It's acknowledging that God knows what he is doing, that he grants us everything that we have, and that we aren't standing alone. That isn't weakness or being a doormat... it is acknowledging reality and drawing strength from the true power, rather than decieving ourselves that we can make it through life alone and unscathed.
Today, let's acknowledge God and praise him, thanking him for all things good and doing all we can to let go of evil and enhance the good. Let's be meek and humble and stick to what's right... as we do, God will lift us up rather than casting us down, and up is the right direction. :)
