A prideful person is so self-centered that they will have a hard time with walking in the fruit of Meekness or Gentleness. They will have a hard time humbling themselves before God or man.
Meekness, Gentleness, and humility are closely related. They are direct opposites of pride and self-centeredness or selfishness.
Meekness displaces Pride. Pride comes before a fall.
Proverbs 16: 18 – 19 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. (19) Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. (NKJV)
James 4: 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” (NKJV)
Psalm 147: 6 The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. (NKJV)
James 4: 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (AMP C)
Meekness opens the door for God’s blessings. Meekness will cause you to walk in the blessings of God.
Meekness will help you walk in the reverential fear of the Lord where there is no want.
Proverbs 22: 4 The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life. (Amp. C)
It takes diligence to walk a Meek, Gentle, and Humble lifestyle.
You must aim at and be diligent for the Fruit of the Spirit to flow in and from your life.
