worthy

aspirations

, the verse I'm talking about is 1 Thessalonians 4 11. it says and aspire to live quietly and mind your own business and work with your hands as we tell you what your greatest aspiration in life.

I use this part to become a doctor and I became one. I used to aspire to write a book. and finally I did it. He praised God for it with each goal achieved and new

aspirations

. I have aspired to reach so many people with the gospel of Jesus. I have aspired to constantly stay healthy and safe and try to make new friends while so many of our aspirations are noble and while we hopefully achieve those things we put our hearts into, there is one aspiration that we tend to overlook or underestimate and 1 Thessalonians 4 11 Paul writes and aspire to live quietly thinking about your own affairs we live in a culture that ignores this type of quiet life we ​​live in a culture that values ​​loud opinions and real life following every little breath what we drink we live in a culture that is not sustainable for a healthy soul if you are looking to find peace and glorify God you may want to try living a chapter from Paul's Playbook aspire to live in silence ignore the noise around you do what God has called you to do only for his glory experience joy refuse to be carried away by the frenzy of strong culture I like that environment which may be one of my favorite parameters of the year, this has been my theme for the last year and I want to jump to New York with this idea to aspire to live a quiet life minding my own business working in my own hands as God has commanded us to do for the glory of God, so whether many see you or Do it alone, it is your heart and the motivation behind what you do that brings God praise, so do not be afraid.

If you feel like you are not having an impact, you are living for the glory of God and if not, you can start doing that now, but if you are prayed for, God will crystallize your thinking as we jump into 2023 of exciting things that will happen. Next year, if you still don't see them in your life, pray that God will open your eyes to see them. Hey, I hope you'll visit living withdr.org and sign up for power minutes at livingwithpower.org.
