Quiet please

I listen to podcasts throughout the day. Some of the ones I enjoy are Lew Rockwell, Radio Free Liberty and Cato for political commentary. But mostly what I like is good bible teaching. Some of the ones I listen to are: Walk in the word(James McDonald), Grace to you(John MacArthur), Word for today (Chuck Smith), Truth for Life (Alistair Begg), and 66/40 (Chuck Misler). I'm fortunate in that my work allows me to write code while my mind is listening to God's word. And there is so much available!

This week's memory verse is 1 Thes 4:3 "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication" KJV I like to read the whole passage to make sure I understand the context and don't miss too much. Anyway, this week I was struck by 1 Thes 4:11 which says "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," in the NASB (emphasis mine). Anyway it challenges me to look at how I live my life. In the KJV is says, "Study to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your own hands". I find it interesting that one needs to study in order to be quiet.
