praus

praus {prah-ooce'}
Greek: adjective

Possible Definitions:
1) mildness of disposition, gentleness of spirit, meekness

Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we
accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without
disputing or resisting. In the OT, the meek are those wholly
relying on God rather than their own strength to defend them
against injustice. Thus, meekness toward evil people means
knowing God is permitting the injuries they inflict, that He is
using them to purify His elect, and that He will deliver His
elect in His time. (Is. 41:17, Lu. 18:1-8) Gentleness or
meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self
interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control
over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self
at all. This is a work of the Holy Ghost, not of the human
will. (Gal. 5:23)
