The concept of meekness is what, I believe, set David apart as the Man after God's own heart.  No other word was used by Jesus to describe himself. It reflects a servant's attitude (Phil. 2) who is willing to forego any position to accomplish what the master desires.  It is a relinquishing of position and rights and is a mandatory character trait if you are going to look for a life like the Master's. Forgiveness flows from meekness. And so does confidence, authority and power.

 

Be God's,
Be meek,
