Nancy DeMas Walgamoos says our ability to display meekness depends on trusting God.

That's what makes us meek.

It's a confidence that God is in charge, that he knows what he's doing, that he is at work,

that we are working in union with him, and that he is going to get the final word.

He's going to write this world that is turned upside down. He's going to

sit it right side up. This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth,

author of Choosing Gratitude. For July 7th, 2021, I'm Dana Gresh.

What comes to mind when you hear the word meekness?

If a negative image comes to mind,

stick with Nancy DeMoss Waldmuth for the next few minutes.

She's continuing in a series she began yesterday called The Beauty of Meekness.

It's part of our July theme, Be Kind. Here's Nancy. When we're talking in this series about a subject that will probably never be the matter for a best-selling book because people don't

generally walk into a bookstore and say, can you give me some information on how to become more meek?

The world is not pursuing meekness, but God tells us that his children are to pursue meekness.

And I mentioned yesterday a book, it may not be a bestseller, but it has been around for a long time.

It's a classic on the subject of meekness.

And of course, in Revive Our Hearts, the first thing we want to do is go to God's Word to get our instruction. But thankfully,

there are people who have written on some of these subjects over the years that help us to better

understand God's Word. And the book I'm referring to is a book by Matthew Henry, who was a Puritan,

pastor and commentator. He lived in the second part of the

1600s and into the early 1700s. This book is called The Quest for Meekness and Quietness of Spirit.

It was written, as I said in the last session, in 1698, over 300 years ago. It is a classic. And I want to encourage you to get a hold of this book.
