"Meekness a Fruit of the Spirit The most precious fruit of sanctification is the grace of meekness. When this grace presides in the soul, the disposition is molded by its influence. There is a continual waiting upon God and a submission of the will to His. The understanding grasps every divine truth, and the will bows to every divine precept, without doubting or murmuring. True meekness softens and subdues the heart and gives the mind a fitness for the engrafted word. It brings the thoughts into obedience to Jesus Christ. It opens the heart to the word of God, as Lydia's was opened. It places us with Mary, as learners at the feet of Jesus. “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way” ( Psalm 25:9 ). SL 14"
"The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 25:9 in this passage.
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
Both passages connect meekness with learning and submission. Matthew 11:29 describes Jesus as meek and lowly, inviting others to learn from Him. The EGW passage emphasizes meekness as a fruit of the Spirit, leading to submission and a willingness to learn from God. The connection is thematic, focusing on the relationship between meekness and receptivity to divine guidance.
