According to Bill Farmer’s newspaper column, J. Upton Dickson was a fun-loving fellow who said he was writing a book entitled Cower Power. He also founded a group of submissive people. It was called DOORMATS. That stands for “Dependent Organization Of Really Meek And Timid Souls — if there are no objections.” Their motto was: “The meek shall inherit the earth — if that’s okay with everybody.” They symbol was the yellow traffic light.

As I wonder the halls of life, I am astonished at man’s view concerning prestige.  Man evaluates everyone according to power, money, and materialism.  “The one with the most toys wins.”  Those who are meek or humble are considered inferior and weak.

But that is far from the truth.  I have discovered that meek or humble people have far superior strength and will than others.  They have come to an understanding about themselves in light of God and mankind.  Having a firm understanding of their place, they launch out in life, living every moment to the fullest, while helping others grow to their full potential.

Having an understanding of who you are, is the first important step in a healthy life.  Meek people live because they understand their imperfections, accept them, embrace them, and then leave them with God.  He will take them and use them for His glory.  

Blessed are the meek,

for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 5: 5
