Meekness is often defined as power under control, and in the case of the Spirit-filled believer, he or she is under the control of God's Spirit. Meekness towards God is a disposition of spirit that accepts His dealings as good and doesn't dispute or resist them.

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
~ Matthew 5:5

A gentle, trusting spirit should characterize our relationship with both man and God. It has an attitude that accepts all of God's ways as good—we are trusting the Lord. It's not having a spirit of rebellion, and it's not going to retaliate when we've been wronged. It recognizes God's sovereign hand in all the circumstances of our lives.

Jesus is our perfect example of meekness. Matthew 11:29 tells us, Jesus says, "I am gentle and lowly in heart. Jesus was always meek (gentle) and mild. Meekness comes about as we have an accurate assessment of who we are before the Lord.
