20170607 - 1 Thess 4:11 Study to be Quiet

1 Thess 4:11 "And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands.."

Today, reflecting on the above past verse which I remember reading.  
Just began to fully understood this verse at last.
With a world of technology and apps and group chats - noises from all over the places.  Freedom of speech is really a interesting term nowadays.  
To avoid conflicts of any sort - of hurting others even unconsciously - the best is to study to be quiet and to do your own business.  Just like the accounting software called MYOB - Mind Your Own Business! Hey it is from Thessalonians! Must be a "Believer's Software" LOL.

Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! ...
