The lesson may be hard

The lesson may be hard for many of us

True Christian faith gives a quietness which in itself is one of life's holiest blessings. It gives the quietness of peace — a quietness which the wildest storms cannot disturb, which is a richer possession than all the world's wealth or power.

"Study to be quiet." The lesson may be hard for many of us — but it is well worth all the cost of learning. It brings strength and peace to the heart.

Speech is good — but ofttimes silence is better. He who has learned to hold his tongue is a greater conqueror than the warrior who subdues an empire. The ability to be silent under provocation and wrongs — is one of life's noblest achievements.

"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life " 1 Thessalonians 4:11

"That we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Timothy 2:2

"The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit , which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:4
