"Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia.
Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.
Make it your goal to live a quiet life,
minding your own business and working with your hands,
just as we instructed you before.
Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
1 Thes. 4:10-12 NLT
The Godly life is quite simple: Love God, Love one another. Yes, there is a time to speak up, but there is a call to live holy and live a quiet life. What do you think Paul the writer of Thessalonians is saying here? The simple life, being at peace with one another - minding your own affairs and taking care of your family.
Pray for others that are caught up in the world - the rat race, the busyness of life, the worries, and all the drama. Pray that they would know the peace of God. Pray that they would know the stillness of the Almighty.
