Shhhhhh!!!!

Shhhhhh.......Do you hear what I hear? This season for many brings a lot of hustle and bustle. Quiet yourself and listen. Believe it or not some people are afraid to be quiet while others don't know how to be quiet. Shhhh....We can miss some valuable lessons by not being quiet.

And that ye study to be quiet, and do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. I Thessalonians 4:11-12

The MacMillan  dictionary defines study as the process of learning about a subject by reading and by going to school, university, etc.

Another dictionary defines study as:

application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge, as by reading, investigation, or reflection.

zealous endeavor or assiduous effort.

to apply oneself; endeavor.

to think deeply, reflect, or consider.

to read carefully or intently.

to endeavor to learn or memorize

to give thought to; consider.

Study to be quiet. Shhhhhh..... Its going to take some work on your part, but give place to this valuable piece of instruction.  Quietness can bring a lot of positive results. You can hear and see clearer when you're quiet.

Don't be so quick to respond to everything. Of course, you have something to say.  Timing is so important. The lack of sensitivity towards timing can cause shipwreck and irreparable damage in your life and the life of others. 

Shhhhhh ..... This is why we must follow the swift-slow-slow method. It works, but consistency is key. If you are diligent to apply these instructions, effective results will be achieved.  The swift-slow-slow method was penned by Apostle James. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
 James 1:19

Shhhhhh!!! Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.   Psalm 46:10
