Why is meekness a sign of true wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

Meekness is a primary indicator of true wisdom because it demonstrates humility and reliance on God's grace.

Meekness is considered the first sign of true wisdom, as illustrated in Scripture through figures like Moses, described as the meekest man on earth. A wise person understands that all they know and possess comes by the grace of God, reflecting humility in their attitude and actions. True wisdom acknowledges that boasting is futile and finds strength in yielding to God's sovereignty. Consequently, the meekness that flows from wisdom fosters peace and harmony rather than envy and strife, which aligns with the teachings of the Gospel.
