The Inheritance of the Humble

In this world, to be successful you often have to shout your own praises, fight for your rights, and let others know how skilled and talented you are. But within God's Kingdom, it's the total opposite! It is the meek and humble who are granted places of prestige and authority. Jesus lived out this humility not only in his death on the cross, but in washing is own disciples feet thereby leaving us an example to follow. In the Old Testament, lands were conquered by war, but in God's Kingdom the earth is inherited by the humble. Through this next beatitude, we will discover how humble people are truly happy people that rest in the sovereignty of God.
