Good morning, Friends, 

1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.”

That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work.

Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching but never working.

Yo, the quiet life ain't about hiding, it’s about "discipline". It’s about building your own house instead of talking about everybody else’s. It’s about working hard so you’re not a burden, but a blessing.

Check ✅ yo'self!! Are you chasing 💨 applause 👏🏾, or chasing God? Are you carrying your weight, or waiting for someone else to carry you?

Let's stay our own lane, not to chase attention but chase obedience. Let's keep me from being a burden and be a blessing.

Signing out! ✌🏾 

You know what time ⏰ it is!

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
