We think of meek as a negative: a wimp, a doormat, a weakling who lets others take advantage of him.
God sees meek as a positive.
Psalm 37:11 (ESV)
But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Moses, who spoke truth to pharaoh’s power, was no wimp.
Numbers 12:3
Now the man Moses was very meek.
I’ve heard meek described as someone who carries a weapon, knows how to use it, and doesn’t.
Blessed are those who don’t rush to use their weapons. 
Oh so good, thanks
Thank you, Pat. I like definitions that are easy to remember.
I really like that definition!
It made perfect sense to me when I first heard it. Glad you like it.
Shirlee, my pastor’s message yesterday was on gentleness as a fruit of the spirit. He likened it to humility and meekness. He defined it as strength under the control of the Master. Very similar.
Strength under God’s control — I like it! Thank you for sharing it.
