Meek Lions, Leopards, And Wolves

Truth is keen and cuts quick, opening God’s mysteries to our understanding to know that for one to rule, unlike the rulers of the world and the prelates of the hierarchical religious systems — we must be meek! We should, therefore, abhor the very thought of being proud. And if we covet, let us covet to be extremely meek, otherwise, we will never have the mind that was in Christ Jesus, who, although being in the form of God, He did not think to usurp and grasp after His equality with God (Phil. 2:4-6). Without meekness, we will never have what it takes to rule in the Kingdom of God, not even if we are as pure as the driven snow. For without discipline, training, refining, and maturing unto a perfect man, we will be incapable of the responsibility the office requires.
