Matthew 5:5 The Beatitudes
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
I think that we get this verse a little backwards sometimes. We assume that as Christians we need to be weak and allow people to step all over us. Meek does not equal weak! If we're going to inherit the Earth someday, we're going to need to know how to lead! Meekness is not the absence of power, in fact, to be truly meek, you need to have power and be willing to lay it down. If you have nothing, or are powerless and you let people push you around you've accomplished nothing. But if you're strong, and allow people to get there way anyway, then you are truly meek.
Allow someone else to be right today. Don't fight for your own way, but let them win. In doing that, we get a little closer to God.
