11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. 12 Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
(1 Th 4:11–12).
This is such simple and practical counsel from the Lord. We are not to be quiet about our faith, but we are to be steady and continue to focus more on what we can do as followers of Christ rather than spending all our time criticizing others.
When others respect the way we live and work, we are on the way to a good witness for the Savior. The world is feeling kind of dark right now. It is time for the people of His Kingdom to shine so those around us may come to saving faith.
