week 3

Sorry to be late for the week three sermon, but here are my thoughts...

I enjoyed how DJ explained that meek is not what we typically think it is, using Psalm 37 to help explain it. And for me the biggest takeaway was how the meek choose to be meek because they know their strength relies not on things of this earth, but on the Lord Almighty.

And he reminded us that to succumb to the things of this earth is easier to do than to actually be 'meek' and surrender to the Lord. "Responding to violence with violence is weak," and "the meek do good in the face of evil" is what I wrote down in my notes. This is just another example in my opinion of how Lord tells us true          (fill in the blank) is opposite of what we expect. Our human idea of 'strength' is very wrong from the Lord's idea of humanly strength.
