What does the Bible say about a meek spirit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes a meek spirit as a grace of the Holy Spirit that is highly valued by God.

In 1 Peter 3:4, a meek spirit is described as the 'hidden man of the heart' and an 'ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.' This meekness is not a mere cowardice or submission to injustice, but a strength that comes from recognizing God's sovereignty and goodness in every circumstance. Jesus exemplified this meekness, stating, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' Thus, true meekness is a fruit of the Spirit and an essential aspect of the believer's new nature, reflecting their trust in God's control over all things.
