How to Live

“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, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.

Heavenly Father Jehovah, You create life to be a process of growing and becoming.  Learning how to live becomes a life-long journey.  Just when I think I have arrived at the place where You will surely have me stay, change happens and I am prodded to go further.

As You call me to keep moving and growing, I abide by the guidelines You offer in Your word.  I lead a quiet life focused on You.  I mind my own business and strive to earn the respect of other people by working hard.  And each day I renew my commitment to walk in Your Will.
