Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5

For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
Psalm 37:9-11

What does it mean to inherit the earth/land?

Bottom Line

Jesus is inviting you to humble yourself and allow him to lead your life.

Let Jesus take the wheel.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
Psalm 37:16-17

Jesus is inviting you to trust him with the details of your life.

Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
Psalm 37:1-11

Action Steps

Prayerfully reflect on the following questions:

• If you're being honest, where do you think your ways are better than God's ways
• In which layer of your life do you sense Jesus is inviting you to let him take the wheel?

Choose something noble, right, pure, lovely, or admirable to meditate on this week.

• Find the best 'bang for your buck' time to spend a few minutes meditating on what God wants you to know, remember, or embody in a situation
