Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Inherit: to receive a portion for a possession, as an inheritance; to be an heir.
Earth: earth, land, ground, country
Since everything on this earth belongs to God, then we as His children, while we are on this earth, have access to all that is His:
1 Corinthians 10:26: The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.
We can know that every need will be supplied.
However, I don’t believe Matthew 5:5 is talking specifically about the literal earth, because:
2 Peter 3:9-14 the day will come in which the elements shall melt, the earth and the works therein shall be burned up…. all these things shall be dissolved… we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness… be diligent that ye me found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
I believe Matthew 5:5 is talking more about a spiritual inheritance:
Revelation 21:1-7 a new heaven and a new earth…. the holy city, new Jerusalem… the tabernacle of God with men… no more death, sorrow, crying, pain… he that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Remember Abraham:
Heb 11:8-16 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God… These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a city.
Abraham wandered as a stranger and pilgrim in the very land that had been promised to him for a possession, yet never actually took possession of it. But, he knew that the promise was for something greater than land on this earth… it was a spiritual land. The same spiritual land that we may possess now!
