1 Thessalonians 4:11
New Living Translation
11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.
It is easy to look at the lives of others and see areas that need improvement. It is always more difficult to look at yourself and see areas that need improvement. God is so loving that He allows us to be purged of those things. He does it in many ways. He may allow a major storm to come into your life to help you set some things in order. He quietly removed people or things from your life to help you rearrange your priorities.
My mother often told me, " You have six months to mind your business, and six months to leave everyone else's alone". In other words, you need to spend your time working on yourself.Minding others people's business is not always a negative thing. You can help someone so much that you become too busy to pray, read your Bible, and fast. It is possible to do good works and not be about God's business. Are you busy being busy?Take care of your relationship with God. Spend time basking in the glow of His presence and everything will take care of itself. Make it your goal to quiet yourself before Him everyday. If you are like me, being quiet is sometimes hard to do. As you begin to quiet yourself, more of God's glory is revealed.
God Bless
