The meek shall inherit the Earth
Manage episode 323833783 series 2917671
Chapter 76 takes us back to the familiar territory of "weakness" that is actually strength. Living things are soft, supple, flexible, and "weak". Dead things are hard, brittle, rigid, and "strong". I'll start this episode by sharing about one of the most influential - and meek - men I've ever known. Then we'll break it up into two basic sections:
1. Meekness and humility as true strength
2. Adaptability as the key to life
