Matt 5:3 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." This is a tough one - one might define "meek" as weak, spineless. If that were true, then inheriting the earth seems a daunting responsibility. Fortunately, that's not the case!
To be meek is to be humble. Restraining one's anger; being in control of one's self or power under control. Leading a life of discipline enables one to lead others. It is also recognizing our dependence on YHWH to be in control. There are a lot of people that define meek as being weak. Numbers 12:3 describes Moses as meek (humble) but he was certainly not weak. He humbled himself before YHWH.
