Lead a Quiet Life

Описание: This study gathers the biblical command to “lead a quiet life” and shows its context and repetition across Scripture.

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS:

The command to lead a quiet life is explicit. Believers are instructed to make it their ambition to live quietly, mind their own business, and work with their hands (1 Thessalonians 4:11–12). This is not personality advice; it is apostolic instruction.

Scripture commands people to settle down and earn the food they eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10–12). Refusal to work is not treated lightly. Responsibility and diligence are tied to obedience.

WHY SCRIPTURE TEACHES THIS:

A quiet life protects against disorder, meddling, idleness, and dependence. It produces peace and earns respect from outsiders (1 Thessalonians 4:12). Scripture contrasts peace and quiet with strife (Proverbs 17:1).

God connects quietness with strength and salvation (Isaiah 30:15). Stillness before the LORD is commanded (Psalm 46:10; Psalm 37:7). Peaceful living is required “as far as it depends on you” (Romans 12:18).

WHERE IT IS WRITTEN:

• 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12
• 2 Thessalonians 3:10–12
• Proverbs 17:1
• Isaiah 30:15
• Psalm 46:10
• Psalm 37:7
• Romans 12:18
• Ephesians 4:28

SCRIPTURE LOGIC:

If God commands quiet living → it is not optional.
If work is commanded → idleness is disobedience.
If peace is required → strife contradicts obedience.
If quietness brings strength → noise and disorder weaken.

This study shows that the quiet life is not withdrawal from responsibility, but obedience expressed through diligence, peace, and trust in the LORD.

TITLE: Lead a Quiet Life

[INTRO — SPOKEN]
Make it your ambition
To lead a quiet life.

[VERSE]
Make it your ambition
To lead a quiet life:
You should mind your own business
And work with your hands.

So that your daily life
May win the respect of outsiders
And so that you will not
Be dependent on anybody.

[PRE-CHORUS]
Such people we command and urge
In the Lord,
To settle down
And earn the food they eat.

[CHORUS]
Lead a quiet life,
Work with your hands.
Live in peace
As far as it depends on you.

Better a dry crust
With peace and quiet
Than a house full of feasting
With strife.

[VERSE]
The one who is unwilling to work
Shall not eat.
Let everyone work,
Doing something useful
With their own hands.

Make it your ambition
To live quietly,
To be still before the LORD,
And wait patiently for Him.

[PRE-CHORUS]
In repentance and rest is your salvation,
In quietness and trust is your strength.

[CHORUS]
Lead a quiet life,
Work with your hands.
Live in peace
As far as it depends on you.

Better a dry crust
With peace and quiet
Than a house full of feasting
With strife.

[BRIDGE]
Be still,
And know that I am God.
The LORD gives strength to His people;
The LORD blesses His people with peace.

[FINAL CHORUS]
Lead a quiet life,
Make it your ambition.
Work with your hands,
And live in peace.

Be still before the LORD.

[OUTRO — SPOKEN]
And wait patiently for Him.
