Verse 4 spoke deeply to me, "The payoff for meekness and Fear-of-God is plenty and honor and a satisfying life." Jesus uses the Greek word we translate as meek in his sermon on the mount too, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."
This word does not mean weak, but instead focused and could be used to describe a domesticated stallion. What happens when we yoke up with Jesus (or a sister or brother in Christ) can be demonstrated by an astonishing fact about Clydesdales. Each of them can pull a thousand pounds alone. But when two of them are yoked together, focused on going in the same direction, they can pull ten thousand pounds.
