Psalm 25:9  " The meek will he guide in judgement, and the meek will he teach his way."  Ain't that good????

I have been thinking about this most of today.  First off, what is meek?  Of course, I can not find my dictionary right now, or my Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit book, but if my memory is correct, being meek is being quiet, teachable, polite, joyful, full of love, and many more descriptive terms for the word.  I would not describe someone who is brash, rude, bold, opinionated, stern, or having a know it all spirit as meek, would you?  First off today, I have been thinking about the things that I do that would not be considered meek.  What about when someone cuts me off driving, first off, let me assure you, my initial thoughts are not meek.  They are rather opinionated. LOL!!!!  Or, when someone is perhaps a bit rude to my children.  That really burns me up.  How do I react?  Don't get me wrong, I do not think we are to be doormats as Christians.  However, I do think there is a godly way to get our point across that perhaps we do not care for what one is doing without reacting in a way that could be considered anything other than meek.  Then I think about the internet.  How many times have my responses been snippy or short because I have been running short on time and I wanted to get that one thought in? How many feeling have I hurt because I have not been gentle with my words online?  Even when it is something I feel so passionate about, does that give me the right to be forceful with my typing (words)?  Absolutely not!!!!!   How can I expect the Lord to teach me His way when I am not meek?  I have learned so much from this verse today.  I pray that the Lord will speak to each and every heart that reads this and that we all can be receptive to his way of living and learning.
