Yielded

 "He trusted to him who judges justly," 1 Peter 2:23.

Now that's meek. No deceit. No vilifying. No threat. Jesus deferred injustice against himself to One able to judge in true justice. To God. Without vengeance, without malice. Woa! Wait a minute: Leaving it to God instead of to whom? Well, ultimately, to the human avenger of blood. You know: eye for eye, limb for limb, life for life. Tit for tat. Even steven. Balanced retaliation. No quarter for mercy. Jesus yielded all right - never mind privilege - to God. So. He can say, Yes, he can!, to those who follow him, happy, you meek. You get the earth. Trust me. You'll see.

We join a brother or sister today and, together, we entrust our right to our God. We offer sacrifice that acknowledges Him who judges justly. So we return blessing to those cursing us. And we give thanks. And enter our Father's joy.
