By: Steve Shirley. A: The usual definition of meekness in the Bible is strength under control.. The world defines strong people as those who are assertive, take charge, proud, self-sufficient, self-reliant, and independent. A meek person is the opposite of these things, therefore, many people associate meekness with weakness.
Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit that seems very much lost in our aggressive, self-centered culture. Because people associate it with weakness, most today do not admire others for being meek, but as we shall see, it is not what they assume.
