For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
The Lord takes pleasure in His people by granting salvation that honors and adorns the meek as beauty. God values the meek and promises to adorn them with salvation, giving salvation itself as beauty to them.
Meekness is an inward adornment of the soul and character, a precious ornament more valuable than outward beauty or riches. It is more precious than outward clothing or jewels, for it adorns the soul itself. This inward adornment connects finite persons with God.
Those who put on Christ and walk in meekness and humility are counted by heaven as truly well adorned. Those who put on Christ and walk in meekness and lowliness are counted as truly well adorned. Salvation is the grace Christ came in humility to give, and the humble and contrite receive His grace and learn from Him.
The promise belongs to those with Christ abiding in them, so that as they receive and add the graces of the Spirit, God multiplies in them the adornments of His own character. As Christ abides in a person and the graces of God's Spirit increase, God multiplies the adornments of His own nature and makes the meek beautiful through salvation. Meekness is the fruit of abiding in Christ and the true secret of blessing, turning a person away from hatred and retaliation toward humility and self-surrender.
Meekness is shown in a noble spirit that follows Christ's example and steadily reflects His character. Those who walk humbly in Christ's footsteps display the Redeemer's character in integrity, uprightness, and holiness. Through Christ's humility and self-surrender the loss caused by sin is redeemed, and those who overcome as He did become heirs with Him and inherit the earth.
The Lord will also beautify the righteous with salvation and immortal life, so that those whose earthly lives are taken for their faith will have their lives restored by Christ as the Lifegiver. The lessons of this truth are precious and worthy of study.
