“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).
I once heard someone call the beatitudes the “be happy attitudes.” We may think we have little in this life to be happy about. The world may think we are poor and needy. However, think about what we have in store. We have an inheritance coming. We will one day be “joint-heirs with Christ.” Knowing He will never leave or forsake us and the promise of a brighter tomorrow should give us joy even in this life.
