A Good Ambition

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His blessings and His constant care of us. There is this phrase in the Bible that has stayed with me for a while. Its that which says “study to be quiet and to mind your own business.” Here is this verse in different versions:

“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,” 1 Thessalonians 4v11 (New International Version)

“And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” 1 Thessalonians 4v11 (King James Version)

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.” 1 Thessalonians 4v11 (New Living Translation).

“To make it your ambition and definitely endeavour to live quietly and peacefully, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you,” 1 Thessalonians 4v11 (Amplified Bible)

“Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of your own business, and do your own work as we have already told you.” 1 Thessalonians 4v11 (New Century Version)

I hope this verse stays with you, as it has stayed with me. May the good Lord give you fresh revelation of what it means to lead a quiet and peaceful life, may He grant you wisdom as to how to go about it, and may you be blessed in so doing in Jesus name, amen.
