17. THE POWER
OF MEEKNESS

18. (1)
MEEKNESS
SHOWS A MAN
IS AT PEACE
WITH
HIMSELF.

19. 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise
him— may your hearts live forever!
PSALMS 22:26

20. 15 This is what the Sovereign Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, says: “In
repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is
your strength,
but you would have none of it.
ISAIAH 30:15

21. Bill Davis

22. With a large cross tattoo
on his head and several
other tattoos visible all
over his body, Bill Davis
might come off as a bit
“hard” to a lot of people.
But Bill perfectly shows
the world the exact
reason why you should
never judge someone by
how they look.

23. That’s because Bill has one
of the most giving and
loving hearts you could
ever hope to meet in your
entire life. He and his wife
were heartbroken when
their son, Chris, was
diagnosed with severe
autism and several other
ailments years ago. Doctors
had little hope for the boy,
and tried to direct the
young couple to give their
“sick” son up to an
institution to be looked
after.

24. But the doctors didn’t seem
to understand that Bill has
something inside his soul
called “unconditional
love.” While dealing with
Chris’ autism certainly
presented a huge
challenge, he and his wife
decided they would give
him love instead. They
studied and learned as
much information as
possible about the best
ways to treat Chris. And
over the years, they’ve
raised a boy whom anyone

25. Chris was certainly a
handful and sometimes still
has his difficult moments,
but thanks to Bill and his
amazing wife, they’ve
taught their son to become
an amazing member of
society. And at the end of
the day, that’s all anyone
can hope to bring into the
world.

26. (2)
MEEKNESS
OBTAINS GOD’S
LEADERSHIP.

27. 9 He guides the humble in what is
right and teaches them his way.
PSALM 25:9

28. A good father knows enough to
know he doesn't know it all. In
meekness he waits upon the Lord
for the guidance he needs to lead
his family.

29. (3)
MEEKNESS IS
PART OF THE
CHARACTER
OF A
CHRISTIAN.

30. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, forbearance, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness
and self-control. Against such things
there is no law.
GALATIANS 5:23

31. 2 Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one
another in love.
EPHESIANS 4:2

32. 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen
people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience.
COLOSSIANS
3:12

33. 11 But you, man of God, flee from
all this, and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, endurance
and gentleness.
1 TIMOTHY 6:11

34. Elias Charles
Disney (February 6,
1859 – September 13,
1941)

35. Disney was born at
Jamestown Road close to
the rural village of
Bluevale, Ontario, Canada,
to Irish Protestant
immigrants Kepple Elias
Disney (1832–1891) and
Mary Richardson (1838–
1909). Both parents had
immigrated from Ireland to
Canada as children,
accompanying their
parents. He became a
farmer and a businessman
with little success. He
moved to California with

36. Instead, Kepple was
convinced by an agent of
the Union Pacific Railroad
to buy 200 acres (81 ha) of
land near Ellis, Kansas.
Disney was an ardent
socialist and a supporter of
Eugene Debs. Disney
worked on his father's new
farm until 1884, when he
left to find another job. He
was hired in a railroad
machine shop (one of his
co-workers was Walter
Chrysler), then he joined
the railroad crew building

37. Union Pacific line through
Colorado. After the railroad
contract was over, he
became a professional
fiddle player in Denver.
Again he was unsuccessful,
and he returned to his
father's farm. He also
worked for a short time as
a mailman in Kissimmee,
Florida, close to the
eventual site of Walt Disney
World. Disney did also
attempt to make a career
as an orange grower in
Florida, but he was

38. As one can see from his
attempts at being self-
employed, Elias had
entrepreneurial
tendencies—tendencies that
his son, Walt, later would
inherit and develop. He was
a construction worker for
the 1893 World's Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, an
event which author Erik
Larson cites as a source of
inspiration for his son Walt
and the Disney kingdom he
would eventually create.

39. He bought shares of O-Zell
Company, a jelly-canning
factory that also produced
apple juice in Chicago,
where his son Walt Disney
worked before he joined
the Red Cross Ambulance
Corps in WWI.

40. Elias Charles Disney was a
religious and strict
Christian man, with a sense
of honesty and decency. He
was a member of the
Congregational Church and
often preached stern
sermons on Sundays in this
church. His son, Walter
Elias Disney, was named
after a Congregationalist
minister named Walter Parr.
Walt's middle name was
after his father, Elias
Charles Disney.

41. Elias and Walt had a tense
relationship as Elias never
saw Walt´s profession as an
artist as a real job. Elias
never drank alcoholic
beverages and rarely
smoked. According to
biographical accounts,
Disney was a stern man who
could have a strong temper
at times, and would take
the money his sons earned
for "safekeeping",
considering them too young
to know the value of
money.

42. If his children misbehaved,
Elias would not hesitate
punishing them with a
switch. Elias would talk
socialism with strange
characters and bring them
home. He was a fiddler
himself and would bring
home anyone else who
could play an instrument.

RECEPTIVE TO
THE GOSPEL’S
CALL.

48. 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is
on me, because the Lord has

to the poor. He has sent me to bind

prisoners.

MEEKNESS IS
THE OTHER
SIDE OF
REPENTANCE.

50. We become humble enough to
realize that a really meek
man is the one who turns
from sin and accepts the
salvation that Christ offers.

filth and the evil that is so
prevalent and humbly accept the
word planted in you, which can save
you.
JAMES 1:21

52. 3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of
the land, you who do what he
commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered on the
day of the Lord’s anger.
ZEPHANIAH 2:3

53. Be a man FOR the Lord but
be MEEK BEFORE the Lord.
