What does this really mean?  I had to think about this long and hard over the past weekend and into this new holiday season.  What is meekness, who is meek and why would God say "blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth".   I have deep heart concerns about situations in my life/family members and I have had to turn them over to God--casting my cares upon Him, for He cares for me; Taking up His yoke for it is easy and His burden is light;  trusting not in my own understanding but in all things, trusting in God.  What a HUGE pill to swallow for me at this time in my life.  Meekness means simply: to wait patiently and in a state of long-suffering, with an attitude of joy and peace, in the mist of life's storms. It means to not let the little things (or big things) in life cause us to suffer beyond repair.  Our God is bigger than any of the situations that could cause us harm, pain, trouble, discouragement and so on.  Little bitty problems, GREAT BIG GOD!

You have to say blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth several times before it begins to sink in...........blessed are the meek, who endure trials, pain, suffering, injustice, slander, inproper treatment, mistreatment by others, hateful attitudes from the ones you love, disillusionment, disappointment, brokenheartedness, and all the other "stuff" that a sinful world throws at us, with a joyful, quiet spirit and a thankful heart, knowing that in God's timing, HE will make all things beautiful and will give an inheritance to those who withstand the trials of this lifetime and finally come into His rest.  And they shall inherit the Earth............do we truly understand this part of the verse.........blessed are the meek, for they shall / will inherit the Earth.  This means when it is all said and done, we will have victory over this lifetime , over the  stuggles and trials.  And when we go to be with the Lord, in that glorious time after all is said and done, blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.  It's  a promise for those who are trusting in the Lord and His Word.  That's what it boils down to........................blessed are those who still trust in God and His Word and promises in the mist of this lifetime's storms, for in the end, they will receive a great reward for their endurance and trusting in God and His Word and promises. 

When you say it the way it suppose to be said, Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth..It is God's promise to us that He is faithful to those who call upon His name. 

Is there a situation where you may not see any clear results or fruits during your lifetime?  Trust in God's Word for blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.  God is more than able to finish what He has started.
