Quoting Psalm 37:11, Jesus teaches in the Third Beatitude that in contrast to the wicked the meek are blessed because in the end they will possess the entire earth; and in the mean time, they possess themselves on it with peace.

First, recognize that meekness is not weakness. Meekness involves mild moderation, which takes strength. Your reward for meekness is everything on earth, for which the wicked are too weak to wait. Your meekness allows you to enjoy yourself on the earth now and into the future. The Meek Have Peace on Earth.
