A meek person is a humble person.
They're not someone that's just going to be a big loud mouth and they think they
know everything. A meek person is someone that's humble.
And the Bible says that he will, the meek will, he teach in his way.
And so that's who he's going to teach. He's going to teach sinners in the way.
He's going to teach the meek people. You know,
there's a lot of people out there that know it all.
You ever run into those people that are just know it alls.
No matter what you say, they know something better.
No matter what you've done, they've done it more. You know, no matter,
you know, they'll, they'll ask you, Hey, will you show me how to do this?
And then when you show them how to do it, they're like, Oh yeah,
I already know that. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like, well, Hey, if you know everything,
then why are you asking me to show you? And people like that are super annoying.
Anybody ever, you know, have that happen? Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
It's like people that you're training at work, you know,
some new person will come into work and they're like, you know, Hey,
will you teach this guy how to do this? Yeah, sure. No problem.
And then they want to tell you how they would do it instead. So annoying.
And I just really have a difficult time dealing with people like that because,
you know,
people want to come in and try to change everything you ever seen like management
come into a new manager comes in,
they just want to clean house and they want to show you how their management
style is better than the last management style or whatever. And they just, they,
they want to reinvent the wheel and I was like, Hey,
we've been doing it for this long for a reason. And look,
I know that people can learn new things.
I know that new things can be introduced,
but if you've been doing something and it's worked for 120 years or whatever,
and there's not a better method,
you think nobody else has tried to make a better method for that? I mean,
sometimes things are just tried and true and if it's not broke,
don't try to fix it.
But there's a lot of people out there that are prideful and they want to,
I remember I was doing this,
a barricade work order where I was putting barricades out for a parade.
And the guy that I worked with was, uh,
I noticed that he was just like, you know,
rolling his eyes where I'd say stuff and things like that.
And finally I just, you know, because sometimes I just have to say something,
but I just said, why you keep rolling your eyes every time I say to do this or
that, you know, what's your problem? You got a problem? You want to fight?
No, I didn't say that. I was just like, you know, and he was like, well,
you know,
I probably would have just redesigned the whole Excel worksheet and I would
have made everything different. So it's easier. Oh,
you would have done the whole Excel worksheet, you know,
the whole grid of the city in a half hour before work.
Okay. It's like, you know,
I understand that there might be issues with how it was engineered.
I get that. And I was actually complaining about that because you know,
with the technology we have,
you should be able to just put everything on an iPad that tells you,
turn right here, turn left here, turn, you know,
instead of just having it on some piece of paper where you're highlighting every
road off or whatever. I get that. But that's not, first of all,
that's not your job. Second of all, you couldn't do it in a half hour.
Third of all, it's not your job. Okay.
There's people that are higher above that have to do certain things.
If it's not your job to do something, then don't try to teach people,
especially if you're just new at some place and you're just like,
I understand you want to show your worth and things like that.
That's really good. But let me help you with something guys.
You shouldn't try to reinvent the wheel every time you find a new job,
someplace. Let people teach you or be teachable, you know,
and then once you, someone's taught you some things,
then maybe if you have a way to improve it or be faster or whatever,
then do that. But when someone's trying to teach you something, be teachable.
Because you know that that can help you in all aspects of life and it can help
you in all aspects of the Bible and learning God's ways to be teachable.
It's just like, you know,
people that will come to a church like this and they're like, yeah,
I know everything I know. I know all this stuff. You know,
I'm like the scholar or whatever.
And then they're never teachable because they think that they know more than the
pastor every time.
They think that they know more than the church member that's been there for a
long time. It's like be teachable.
It's going to help you in your Christian life and you're not going to be banging
your head against the wall so much.
