Living Quietly

 

Live quietly
in peace

mindful of yourself
working with your hands

so that the outside
world sees

your heart toward God
and man.

**********

I can live quietly for You are with me.

“But we urge you, brothers and sisters, that you excel [in this matter] more and more, “

“and to make it your ambition to live quietly and peacefully, and to mind your own affairs and work with your hands, just as we directed you, “

“so that you will behave properly toward outsiders [exhibiting good character, personal integrity, and moral courage worthy of the outside world ] and be dependent on no one and in need of nothing [be self supporting].”

1 Thessalonians 4:10,11,12 AMP

God Sings

 

Oh how You quiet me
my fears and thoughts

with Your amazing
limitless love

as You sing over me
with sheer delight

and shower me with all
You’re made of.

**********

You are with me and sing over my life.

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
