Meekness
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. ”
Matthew 5:5
Read Joshua 22:10-34
The wisdom displayed by the Reubenites and their companions is worthy of imitation. While honestly seeking to promote the cause of true religion, they were misjudged and severely censured; yet they manifested no resentment. They listened with courtesy and patience to the charges of their brethren before attempting to make their defense, and then fully explained their motives and showed their innocence. Thus the difficulty which had threatened such serious consequences was amicably settled.
So should every individual or organization do when they are falsely judged.
Far better would it be for us to suffer under false accusation than to inflict upon ourselves the torture of retaliation upon our enemies. The spirit of hatred and revenge originated with Satan, and can bring only evil to him who cherishes it. Lowliness of heart, that meekness which is the fruit of abiding in Christ, is the true secret of blessing. "He will beautify the meek with salvation." Psalms 149:4.
“To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. ”
Titus 3:2
