As Meek As Moses
Moses—who overcame the old age belief to the extent of manifesting the physical body of a young man in the prime of life when, according to the calendar, he was one hundred and twenty years old, and then transcended matter altogether, or “dematerialized” without dying—was known preeminently for this quality; “as meek as Moses.” Apart from his own personal demonstration, Moses also did a marvelous work for his whole nation, getting it out of Egyptian bondage in the face of incredible difficulties. Moses had an open mind, ready to be taught new things and new ways of thinking and working. He was not, in the beginning at least, free from serious faults of character, but he gradually rose above these defects as the new truth worked in his soul.
Moses thoroughly understood that to conform oneself rigorously to the will of God, far from involving the loss of any good, could only mean a better and more splendid life. He did not, therefore, think of his task as self-sacrifice, for he knew it to be the highest form of self-glorification—the glorification of God.
…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…I am in the Father, and the Father is in me (John 14:10-11).
There is a marvelous Oriental saying that “meekness compels God himself.”
Conforming ourselves to God’s will (meekness) should not be confused with weakness or passivity. Moses was neither weak nor passive, but he was meek, and he had faith in God’s will.
We all have some form of bondage gripping us today; imprisoning us with our own thoughts, words and deeds. Throw of those shackles today by turning away from self-will and embracing God’s will. Far from a sacrifice, it will ensure our very best good and our dominion over our lives.
Be meek and walk with God in your garden today…and every day.
In the garden,
