Philippians - Living in the Wordគំរូ

Key Verse:

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Reflection:

Sometimes it seems impossible to live anything resembling a quiet life today. The world tells us to be ambitious, to climb the ladder, to do more, say yes to more, and acquire more. However, Paul is urging the church in Thessalonica (and us) to aim at something different: a quiet life. A life that isn't measured by how much we fit into our days, or how fast paced they are, but rather a life that moves at His pace and reflects at all times on the truth that our security is in Him.

Response:

What comes to mind when you think about leading a quiet life?

Do you consistently make time for God in your daily life?

The world wants us to be distracted from the things of God. Are there things in your life right now that are keeping you from having a deep and personal relationship with Jesus?
