The joy of the meek

"The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD…" - Isaiah 29:19

Joy is promised to the meek. They are humble; they do not rely on their own righteousness. They attribute everything good in them only to the grace of God, and they are grateful to the Lord for His mercy. They are content with what they have; they do not envy, and they do not look down on others. The Lord gives grace to the humble. God's grace gives strength to live a holy life, and holiness is joy.

The joy of the meek will increase. As holiness increases, so does joy.
