Today we started at the Mount of Beatitudes and it was very special. This is where jesus spoke all those wonderful principles of the blessed life and the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus also borrowed Peter's boat and spoke to a multitude from this area as well.
Governor Huckabee spoke to the group and it was so inspiring.....He talked about how the meek (Blessed are the meek) doesn't mean weak or a wallflower. He says that meek (in Hebrew or Greek, I can't remember) means strength under control. Strength with out control is useless. Meekness is like putting a bridle on a horse and being able to come into your spiritual fulfillment. He also discussed the difference between "peaceful" and "peacemakers" which was profound to me as well. Peacemakers are in constant and ACTIVE pursuit of peace, just like our men and women in the service.....peaceful (or in favor of peace) doesn't equal "peacemaker!" Food for thought......
