'ANAV'

August 03, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Psalms25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

When you read several chapters in the book of Numbers and other pentateuchs, there's a common phrase that occurred repeatedly about the Lord speaking to Moses. When you look at Moses, he enjoyed divine direction ceaselesly. In fact, God spoke to him frequently because he was the meekest man on earth.

God's direction is for the meek. The Hebrew word for meekeness is 'anav'. It simply means to be humble, lowly in spirit and mild. Human wisdom sometimes makes us feel we know the way, there's a tendency to feel our education can suffice for our need of spiritual intervention. Rationality alone cannot make you get things right in life, you need to hear the voice of the master leading you.

To be guided in judgement means ability to make the right decisions amidst confusing options. This is an entitlement of the meek only. The books you've read about how to choose life partner are good but you need God to guide you. Humble yourself and take on the posture of a man that doesn't know and is ready to take instructions from a master.

In the kingdom,we don't think or reason it out, we hear it out.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to stay meek for a ceasless flow of divine direction In Jesus name. Amen
