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)
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.—Psalm 19:1 (NIV)
The earth is a beautiful place and yet, we often forget to see the sunrise, notice the miraculous flower sprouting in a crack in the sidewalk, or appreciate the glorious taste of a fresh-picked apple. The world’s blessings are testimony to God’s brilliant creatorship. Be mindful of His many glorious gifts; look closely at the grandeur all around you.
Heavenly Father, today and every day help me notice the spectacular displays of Your love.
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)
