Daily Sacrifice, May 25 (2:3)
“Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger”— Zephaniah 2:3.
AS we read this verse we are reminded of our Lord’s words, “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.” Meekness is not a characteristic of ruined man who is far more likely to be lifted up in pride than to take a lowly place before God, and yet the place of meekness is the place of blessing; it is the meek who shall inherit the earth. Those who are willing to forego present enjoyment for Christ’s name’s sake find lasting blessing which never can be taken from them. The admonition to seek meekness implies the rarity of this virtue; it is found only in fellowship with Christ.
