Meekness is the INWARD ADORNING, which God estimates as of great price. The apostle speaks of this as more excellent and valuable than gold or pearls or costly array. While the outward adorning beautifies only the mortal body, the ORNAMENT of meekness ADORNS the soul and CONNECTS finite man with the infinite God. This is the ornament of God’s own choice. He who garnished the heavens with the orbs of light has by the same Spirit promised that “he will beautify the meek with salvation” (Psalm 149:4). Angels of heaven will register as BEST adorned those who put on the Lord Jesus Christ and walk with Him in MEEKNESS and lowliness of mind. {SL 16.2}
