"A Quiet Life"

from "Prayer Changes Everything" Devotion for Today · host Y.E.S. Jesus Youth Encountering Savior Jesus

05 August 2025 Daily Devotion: "A Quiet Life" 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 New International Version 11 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, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. Does your life ever seem just a little too loud? Do you ever look around and wonder how it got so crazy? Life can become overwhelmingly loud without a person even realizing it's happening. The constant noise can add undue stress and can slowly drain your joy. Noise can enter your life a number of ways. Being too busy or too concerned with others, affairs are just a couple of them. Often all it takes to restore joy to your life is to learn to quiet down. In his letter to the Thessalonians, Paul described a life that was pleasing to God. He talked about living a holy life, loving one another, and learning to live quietly. What would it look like for you to live quietly? Perhaps you would need to say no to some things. Being still doesn't come naturally to everyone, so maybe you would have to work on that. Learning to be present in the moment without trying to plan or predict the next moment will reduce the noise and bring more joy into your life.
