God wants us to be His meek children. How shall we be meek?
Let’s be like lambs! The Bible uses a lamb as an example to us. Lambs are meek. They are small and need protection. Lambs live in flocks of other sheep and lambs. We read about sheep and lambs as having a good shepherd to guide them.
Do lambs roar and insist on having their own way? No, they do not. Lambs are gentle and sweet. Obeying their good shepherd is what they want to do. At times, a curious lamb will wander away from the flock. The good shepherd then searches for that lost, bleating lamb and brings it back to the safety of the flock.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We are His lambs. Jesus wants to keep us safe from sin. We can meekly ask for our sins to be forgiven. We can forgive others their sins as well.
Be free and happy! Believe all your sins forgiven in Jesus’ name and blood.
