Inherit the Earth
from Blessed are the Meek
Uranda April 19, 1953
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” Now He did not say that we would have to go out and buy the earth. He did not say that we would have to go out and fight to win it, to gain control of it. He did not say that we would have to go out and labor for a few thousand years to get it. He stated that there was a process by which we might inherit. We recognize that all things, regardless of appearance, regardless of present circumstance, regardless of misuse or abuse, all things, in fact, belong to God. And if God is our Father in Heaven, and if His Name is hallowed to us so that we do not violate our position in relationship to Him as true children, as men and women in Christ, we begin to see that it is not a matter of establishing ownership with respect to the earth or material things. Any such questions are of minor import. Ownership is vested in God already, regardless of what human beings may think about it. Ownership belongs to God, now, and if we function correctly in relationship to God we inherit, or receive, into the range of our use and control those things which are necessary to the effectiveness of our lives on earth. The responsibility in the field of stewardship is something which human beings only dimly recognize, the opportunity of allowing our lives to so function that we may inherit that which God owns on earth...
“Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth.” Is this not a better way than the way of aggressive
conflict which a large part of the world is trying to use, dominating other
nations? Conflicts—that is not inheriting the earth. It’s trying to take it by
force, and it cannot be done! It cannot be successfully done.
Some of our own
problems right here, in the United States of America, spring out of the
vibrational factors involved in the manner in which we took certain parts of
this earth, by force, from the Indians who lived here before the white man
came. Certain of our vibratory patterns are distorted and must be cleared,
somehow, sooner or later. The earth cannot be successfully taken by force—no
part of it.
We may, while human beings are as they are, have
to use force to protect ourselves as a nation from aggression; but we need to
see, in relationship to our daily living, personally, individually, the
tremendous significance of this truth: “Blessed are the meek for they shall
inherit the earth.” If you then would inherit the earth, and have the earth
love to be under your dominion, that portion of it which is rightly yours, then
let us, one and all, learn what it is to live in the nobility of true
meekness—for it is the only pattern that allows for true strength—the
manifestation of the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory of God on earth.
