6-28-08 Psalm 37:11 Be Gentle and Lowly and You Will Possess the Land

Psalm 37: 11(NAS)
But the humble will inherit the land, And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

Psalm 37: 11 (NLT)
Those who are gentle and lowly will possess the land; they will live in prosperous security.

The spirit of the world teaches you to fight for your rights; however, the Kingdom of God shows you a different way of acting. Adonai encourages you to be gentle, humble, and meek. You must maintain a submissive attitude towards God. Through this you prove that you are a true saint of the Lord.

Adapting and maintaining this attitude brings you more blessing from the Lord than the more belligerent one does. Although it seems that others gain by obnoxious, grasping methods, in the final outcome you, and not they, will be the true heir of the earth. Adonai will cause you to possess by faith what others were striving for through their own strength. You will occupy the land, for the previous tenants will be driven out and disinherited. You will have success.
You will then have great delight, for you will find yourself living a luxurious life. God will abundantly provide health and prosperity. Through the Lord's favor, you will have increase. Your goods and possessions will accumulate as the rain drops in a shower. You will also live in perfect peace, rest, and safety. In the end, you will be full and have plenty.
