“the meek ones themselves will possess the earth.” (Psalm 37:11a) But who are these “meek ones”? The word translated “meek” comes from a root word meaning “afflict, humble, humiliate.” Yes, “the meek ones” are those who humbly wait on Jehovah to right all the injustices inflicted upon them. “They will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:11b)

“THE heavens are my throne,” says Jehovah, “and the earth is my footstool.” Concerning his footstool, Jehovah promises: “The place of my feet will I make glorious.” (Isaiah 66:1; 60:13, Rotherham) This he will do for the meek who are to inherit it. Under their appreciative care, the earth will become a place of paradisaic beauty and a glory to Jehovah its Creator.

But some will argue: ‘It’s the meek that inherit the earth? Meek people are weak people! How can they be strong enough to exercise dominion over the earth?’ The word “meek” in the Scriptures refers to those who are gentle, kind, mild-tempered but with strength of steel. It was a word used of a wild beast that was tamed but still powerful.

Vine’s dictionary of Greek words defines meek: “It is an inwrought grace of the soul; and the exercises of it are first and chiefly towards God. It is that temper of spirit in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting.” The meek do not add to, subtract from, water down, or twist God’s Word—as some do today to accommodate their immoralities.

Who are these who will inherit the earth? Psalm 37:34 states: “Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, and he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it.”

People who will inherit the earth must come to know Jehovah, believe his promises, and be considered by him upright and blameless because they obey his laws. As First John 2:17 declares: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”

The meek are the ones that are meek before God.

I am Praying. Christ said in Matthew 9:22: "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole." 9:20:"He was speaking the woman which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 9:21:"For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." 9:22: "But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy Faith hath made thee whole." And the woman was made whole from that hour."
Prayer is the way we touch Jesus Christ, therefore Pray.

I would recommend that that you read the King James version of the Bible. It contains the answers to your questions.
God the Father knew you before you we born in eternity past and when you were formed in your mother womb. We are born with a Soul that will live for eternity. We must decide as a free will agent to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior or not.
Our decision determines whether we spend eternity in Heaven or Hell.
I Pray that you make the right decision.
Jesus Christ Loves You.
God Bless you is my prayer.
David
