Today's Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 37 verse 11:
But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.
I have said before what the old timers used to say around these parts of oil-rich West Texas: "The meek shall inherit the earth, but somebody will get the mineral rights."
Indeed it is true. Nice guys often -- maybe most of the time -- finish last. For a time, anyway.
But in the end the meek have something that can't be bought, sold, or taken away -- the peace of having kept their integrity. This is the peace of having remained true to themselves, their values, and their God.
Everything is for sell; but this kind of peace cannot be bought. You either have it or you don't.
