How and why Bible verses provides the wisdom needed for the meek to inherit the Earth, if only ……?
The Chicago Tribune article titled: About George’s Voting Law, reported the following statement:
“Voting is a Right. It is also a Duty.”`
The Purpose of This Post
Is to relate an ancient proverb, Bible verses, and how the founders of the Constitution provided the opportunity for the Bible verse to become a reality in the USA, providing………?
King Solomon
Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. (Proverb 11:29)
Bible Verse
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:28-29
28For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed c ;
the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
What’s My Point?
A Christian article titled: CHRISTIAN OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES, ending statement reads as follows
B. Meekness
1. Being willing to sacrifice self-interest.
2. Strength under control
3. How was Jesus meek?
a. 1 Peter 2:23 – who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
My point is our founders provided the means to bring to fruition how the meek can inherit the Earth if we understand and carry out our Obligations and Duty to vote.
In My Opinion
Current news reports about whether the Georgia’s Laws are unfair to minorities or not are not reporting political pros and cons about the voting laws are repressive or not.
However, regardless of the law, if voters want to win an election, they must fulfill their obligations as citizens of the USA to vote not only because it is their Right, it is their obligation, and duty.
In my opinion, the Bible verse that the meek will inherit the Earth was provided the advice how it can be accomplished in the Constitution of the USA.
All we need to do is fulfill our obligations and duties as a Christian or any other religion, or as a citizen is to vote, and we will in effect inherit the politicians we vote for in the USA.
Same as in every other Country on Earth who have been blessed with a Democrat Republic opportunity.
You Decide
Why when anyone is asked to provide an obligation and duty to provide identification to vote when every bank requires identification to allow them to obtain funds their own funds they deposited in a Bank.
Did the Bible verse influence the founders of the USA Constitution to be possible if only they will fulfill their obligations and duties as a citizen of the USA?
Is the truth that because the less and less people are blessed with meekness, the less likely they will inherit the earth, as we are now expediting by the continue waning of religious values in our society?
Are we fools to allow wrongdoers to run our Nation instead of “holding in our hands” the means of voting to inherit what our founders and the Bible has guided and provided for us if only we fulfil our Christian and Citizen obligations and duty to vote when we have two years to do so before elections?

Meekness is necessary. Meekness, however, is not weakness.
Blessings.

Michael, Tom,
Since both Michael and you have commented on the possibility of the definition of meek being perhaps weak or passive, I probably should have included the Bible definition of meek in my post which is as the definition of meek in the Bible .
“A personality trait of gentleness and humility, the opposite of which is pride. Meekness does not refer to weakness or passivity but to controlled power. Aristotle described meekness as the middle position between excessive anger and an excessive lack of anger.
Meekness or gentleness is exemplified by God”
https://www.studylight.org/dictionaries/eng/hbd/m/meekness.html#:~:text=The%20Hebrew%20word%20translated%20meek%20%28anaw%29%20means%2C%20%E2%80%9Cwretched%2C,and%20are%20called%20blessed%20%28Psalm%2037%3A11%3B%20Matthew%205%3A5%29.
If we consider the “B Meekness” traits, i included in my post, in our contemporary times, same as in history, is in my opinion. not only blessed, but also a hero:,
rather than weak or passive in my opinion.
Thanks for your comments.
Regards and goodwill blogging.
