The Strength of Gentleness
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Pilate said to them, “All right, take some of your soldiers and guard the tomb as well as you know how.” So they sealed it tight and placed soldiers there to guard it.—Matthew 27:65-66 CEV
Today as we mourn the death of Jesus we are reminded that even in the darkest times, when we think there is no hope, God is powerfully at work. On days when things seem impossible, when you ache with despair, reflect on Easter and our Lord rising. Believe in miracles.
Risen Lord, give me the faith to look beyond dark times to the victory You are preparing.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.—Hebrews 10:24 (ESV)

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.—James 3:6 (NIV)
