Better is a dry morsel with quietness,
Than a house full of feasting with strife.—Prov 17:1
Oh how happy are the people who fear the Lord and delight in His commandments. They lead peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence.
I so want this for my own house and for those in my church family. Peace...the absence of conflict. Help each of us to aspire to lead a quiet and peaceable life minding our own business and working with our hands...doing what is right in Your sight. Father, moment by moment...walking in the works that You have prepared beforehand for us. Oh, let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us. Let our adornment be the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. ...this is what is precious in Your sight. This is what I want! Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.—Isa 32:17
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the LORD.—Lam 3:26
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah—Ps 46:10-11
