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)

Have Faith
Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God’s will is—
His good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Life can be frustrating. Sometimes we suffer an injustice
that leaves us asking, “Why did this happen?” Instead of
straining to see meaning or to try and figure out what’s
happening when you’re in the eye of the storm, recognize
that wisdom and growth takes time. Perspective is
everything. Have faith and trust God’s plan.
Heavenly Father, help me to let go of needing to understand
everything. Help me to stop asking why and just accept what is.

Tune in to God’s Gifts
