Meekness- Strength Under Control

I have been trying to find a good working definition for the word "Meek" for years.  I finally found one!  Strength under control.  The meek man  is in himself, nothing; in God, everything.  The meek man is a man that has learned to control his passions making himself long suffering and patient towards others.  Yet he knows that he has the strength of Lord anytime he needs it.  In fact, he has true power.  Through the development of Christ-like attributes it isn't in his nature to act according to or react from the natural man.  It is power because the natural impulses no longer govern his thinking, emotions or behavior.  He has overcome these natural impulses by faith unto repentance, thereby receiving the grace or power from God to overcome.  He has heard the will of the Lord and submitted to it.
