The Strength of Gentleness
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.—Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.—Hebrews 12:13 (NLT)
In the above verse, straight paths prevent physical injury, but the same can be said about faith, certain “crooked” situations can trip up your thinking and cause you to go against God’s Word. Is there a habit, relationship or negative way of thinking that might be leading you spiritually astray? Straight paths lead you on the right track.
Dear Lord, help me to follow Your guidance and stay on the course You’ve charted for me.

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)
