1 Thessalonians 4: 11and to 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
Paul tells the church not to engage in sexual immortality. Specifically, he warns against satisfying lust in a way that would take advantage of another. Then he says their love for each other is evident, offering this verse as a means to gain the respect of the community.
I am just home from 3 weeks with Mother, and this verse describes what I want. I came home to find a mess, and I want to hang out close by here, minding my business and working to get my home in shape.
Prayer: Thanks for the opportunity to rest and refresh in my own home. I love the concept of a quiet life at home. I promise to stay in touch through Bible study and prayer.
Amen
