Q450
What is the Lord’s third precept of blessedness?
Those who desire to be blessed must be meek. The world despises meekness as weakness; but the Scriptures esteem it as the disposition God himself seeks out: “this is the one to whom I will look: he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word” (Isa 66:2); and “he who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city” (Prv 16:32).
