The Quiet Life
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.—Psalm 33:8 KJV
Living with the fear of God in your heart is a good thing. That may sound strange, but fear of God in the Bible means awe and respect. When you faithfully revere God, you always try to know His will and follow it.
Lord, I praise You! I long to be righteous and please You.
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.—Job 2:11 (NIV)
Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
