- The meek are those who let God take care of the business of being God.
- They are fully aware of evil, and do not crumble at the sight of it.
- The meek are strong.
- They are strong in faith. They are strong in prayer. They wait for God.
- They entrust their well being to God.
- Yes, they work hard, but they wait for God to deal with their enemies.
