1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
...and 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, so that your daily life may
win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on
anybody.
The Bible
speaks to our hearts.

In a book
launch team I am part of, I was asked which of the four seasons is my favorite.
For anyone who knows me well, you know I answered winter. I also love spring
when beautiful flowers bloom, summer when I swim with my grands, and of course
fall, a gorgeous time to be outside appreciating the colorful leaves.
Yet, winter
remains my favorite because it is a time of peace. When snow blankets the
ground and the nothing has touched the pureness, I’m reminded of 1 Thessalonians—my life verse. I love quiet, and strive to lead a quiet life.
I try to mind my own business, unless God lays on my heart to speak up. I work
with my hands, either on the computer, with arts and crafts or around the
house. Tim and I depend on God, daily. He is the one who provides us
opportunities to work and grow.
Do you have a life verse, a scripture that speaks to your heart about everyday life? Is there a scripture God has placed on your heart? One you strive to follow? There are many verses in the Bible I rely on for wisdom and guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord..., “ John 3:16, the book of James, the Psalms.
We have so many
wonderful, life-changing scriptures at our fingertips.
God has
given us the gift of the Bible. Have you read any scripture today?
2 Timothy
3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the
servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
