Meek and Lowly

10/22/2018

I would venture to say that nothing makes the truth of Christ’s Gospel more odious to needy, dying sinners, than when it comes from proud lips and a combative, militant heart that seeks to “be right” by argument and dominion over others to its own glory.

But “the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness, instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance unto life; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will” (2 Tim. 2:24-26).

May God subdue this natural, proud, hateful heart by the disclosure of His own self-abasing, sinner-serving, saving grace to this undeserving, hateful man, that I might see the meekness and lowliness of my Lord who became my only Savior. And as I thus behold His face, may I in turn live on Him and tell sinners about Him, that they might see His great glory in His salvation (Mark 5:19-20; 2 Cor. 3:18; Matt. 11:28-30; Ps. 21:5)!
